Moving Divider Tote Bag – Square Base | NAKAGAWA MASASHICHI SHOTEN
ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
A thoughtful tote designed around how we live
Inspired by the idea that “a bag is like a room,” this tote reimagines its interior as a flexible space. Instead of fixed compartments, the inside is designed to adapt — letting you move the divider to suit what you carry. Whether for a busy workday or a short trip, the bag adjusts to your needs and helps keep everything organised.
Flexible space that fits your belongings
Inside, the tote is divided into two main sections: one side can be fully covered with a zippered flap to keep items discreet, while the open side features pockets for essentials you want within easy reach. The removable divider is not fixed to the base, allowing it to slide and shift according to the shape and size of your belongings. It prevents items from interfering with each other and makes storing, finding, and retrieving things noticeably smoother.
Practical structure for everyday life
With two spacious compartments, it can hold everything from lunch boxes to A4 documents without tipping or crushing items. A long shoulder strap makes it easy to carry even when wearing thicker layers. Designed in a simple, unisex style, it works across seasons and occasions — commuting, school, weekend outings, or as a reliable mother’s bag.
Durable canvas from Kurashiki
The bag is crafted from No. 8 canvas woven in Kurashiki, Okayama — a region known for producing high-quality canvas since 1888. Woven slowly on traditional shuttle looms, the fabric has a natural texture and pleasant hand feel. It is soft enough to carry comfortably, yet firm enough to stand upright on its own.
A water-resistant base you can trust
To protect the bottom from dirt and wear, a clear film is heat-pressed onto the canvas, adding discreet water resistance. Any marks can be wiped clean, giving peace of mind when placing the bag on the floor. The contrast between the coated and uncoated areas adds a subtle two-tone character.
Long-life design for everyday use
Made to be used daily and age beautifully, the tote blends practicality with quiet Japanese craftsmanship. Over time, the canvas softens and develops a familiar, lived-in charm.
