HobonichiDrawer Pouch Áne (Koyaguchi Pile Fabric: Hanajutan)

    This pouch is like carrying an entire drawer with you wherever you go. Keep it on hand to easily access stationery whenever you need it, or use it on your desk to safely store your important items.



    The Drawer Pouch is a new partner to the Hobonichi Techo. It can store and organize your most important items in a single place, making it easy to carry with you anywhere you go. In addition to the existing Small Drawer Pouch and Large Drawer Pouch, the Drawer Pouch Áne is the newest style and opens accordion-style.



    The Hanajutan pouch is made with a textured cotton-flax fabric covered in images of green plants that seem to grow right off the material. The woven fabric, Koyaguchi Pile, is made at the foot of Mt. Koya in Wakayama Prefecture. Unlike the standard pile seen in towels, this highly unique woven pile has a soft texture that feels heavenly to the touch.



    The textile’s flowers and leaves are actually the result of decades of work from a local business that designs patterns for pile fabrics. Their hard work creating a classic pattern with a natural look is what makes this textile shine.



    The Drawer Pouch Áne (AH-nay, “older sister” in Japanese) is the size of a wallet and opens accordian-style. The Áne works great as a wallet for your cards and bank books, but it’s also perfect for storing other smaller items, such as writing accessories, tickets, and headphones. It even has enough room to store a Hobonichi Techo Weeks book.

    Each side of the interior contains 6 card pockets as well as larger pockets, for tickets and other long items.

    The zipper pocket going down the center of the pouch is 9 cm (3.5 in) deep. This handy pocket is great for keeping not only pens and erasers, but also keys, pills, and other small items you want to keep extra-safe. There’s also a small bonus pocket on the outside for drivers licenses, insurance cards, or other important items.



    There’s also a pocket on the exterior of the Drawer Pouch Áne, for cell phones or other items you use frequently.

    While the drawer pouch has plenty of room to store belongings, the narrow gusset makes it easy to store in any bag.

    By keeping all your most important items in the Drawer Pouch Áne, you can keep your desktop and the inside of your bag free of clutter. It can serve in all kinds of roles, depending on what you do: A wallet, a stationery case, a place for your sewing tools, a travel pouch. With the Drawer Pouch Áne, you can keep your most important things handy at all times.
