"Durable, soft, and lightweight." Crafted by artisans, V.D.L.C. bags feature simple designs that complement various aspects of daily life. Through a unique process, we transform canvas, often perceived as stiff and heavy, into a lightweight and soft 100% cotton bag. With the heartfelt intention to "stay with each person's life for a long time," we have meticulously and carefully constructed these bags. They are durable and washable, providing the reassurance of always being able to keep them clean. Subtly supporting your everyday life, these bags will evolve into your unique, cherished item with continued use. -------- Things to Know -------- *V.D.L.C. fabric, woven on shuttle looms rather than mass-production machines, is prized for its "lightness," "softness," and a "natural, relaxed texture" that embraces "aging" rather than "deterioration." Woven on shuttle looms over 100 years old in Kurashiki, the fabric inevitably develops minor "weaving imperfections," which may initially appear as small "frays." While these are unavoidable with the use of vintage machinery, we diligently strive to minimize them through thorough factory inspections and careful fabric cutting. Any imperfections found are strategically placed in less conspicuous areas. However, due to the nature of the machinery, complete elimination is not possible. We kindly ask that you appreciate these weaving imperfections as a testament to the charm and character born from the use of antique shuttle looms.
