Introducing "Crafty Tokyo Mama" online shop
From Kansai member Janine Adachi:
When I was required to sew various bags for my daughter's preschool life, I rediscovered my love of bags. Growing up, I collected paper bags and had a nice collection numbering over 300 at one time, so I guess it comes as no surprise that now my hobby is making and selling compact eco bags.
I absolutely love Japanese fabrics and designs and they lend themselves nicely to eco bags. Why carry a plain bag advertising some store or company you don't even know when you can be unique with an eco bag that matches your personality and interests?
Please feel free to drop by and peruse my shop anytime.
