Summer Outing Essentials
A useful bag that folds away neatly
sotlight's original tote bags catch the eye with their vivid colors.
Artisans in India print patterns drawn from original illustrations using hand-carved wooden blocks. Small shifts and variations in the ink give each print its own handmade character.
Choose from three patterns: rabbits running through a meadow, carefree kiwi birds, or blue birds playing in a dogwood tree.
The roomy tote folds up for use as an extra bag or a market bag. Its fresh patterns make it a cheerful companion for summer outings.
Nordic design meets Japanese weaving
An umbrella is a welcome companion on a sunny summer day. Makita Shoten, a long-established weaver in Yamanashi, carries on the fine textile traditions of Koshu and its kaiki silk. Its jacquard umbrellas are woven from yarn dyed using local spring water from Mount Fuji.
The patterns are woven into the fabric, almost like embroidery, and the underside is beautifully finished too. Opening the umbrella becomes a small pleasure in itself.
UV-treated fabric makes these umbrellas useful as parasols, and the maker offers repairs to help extend their life. A beautiful everyday tool can make summer outings all the more enjoyable.
An elegant accent for a white shirt
These soft, lustrous silk-cashmere scarves are made by Yamanashi textile maker Muto using designs by the late Swedish designer Stig Lindberg.
The fine silk-cashmere fabric has a graceful feel from the moment you touch it.
Lindberg's richly colored designs stand out against a crisp white shirt. A lovely choice for anyone who enjoys simple clothing with a distinctive accent. A light layer for sunny days or cool, air-conditioned rooms.
