Persimmon-Dyed Shoulder Bag

ALUPALAN utilizes locally sourced native persimmon varieties and common plants to extract and brew natural dyes, allowing time and climate to reveal a unique botanical dyeing artistry on fabric. The color transformation of persimmon dye requires sun exposure. After the matured fabric is washed, the wastewater nourishes the land, symbolizing the spirit of youth returning to serve their communities. The persimmon fabric is dyed using extracts from different periods, then artfully arranged to create a diverse range of color blocks. This design incorporates elements co-created with younger generations and fabric pieces textured through traditional techniques, often involving the assistance of elders. This Boston bag, in a practical size, offers both handheld and shoulder-carry options. Its widened base provides ample space, while two front pockets and an interior compartment offer convenient organization for daily essentials. The included strap allows for versatile wear—shoulder, hand, or crossbody. The naturally warm hues of persimmon dye create a piece that is both stylish and comfortable. Care Instructions: 1. Upon receipt, avoid storing the product in humid conditions or exposing it to prolonged direct sunlight. 2. Hand-washable with a mild detergent (e.g., a small amount of soap or dishwashing liquid). Soak for one to two hours. Gently rub any visible stains, then rinse with clean water and air dry in a cool, shaded place. Low-temperature ironing is permissible. 3. Slight fading during the initial wash of naturally dyed fabric is normal. Any aroma is characteristic of the natural fermentation process of persimmon dye.
