HobonichiDrawer Pouch Áne (minä perhonen: mermaid gray)

    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.



    minä perhonen creates custom textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs. This pouch is named after the textile it is made with, called “mermaid.” The pattern, resembling the small arc of fish scales, is carefully embroidered in waves across the material.



    This pouch uses the same textile as the 2018 Hobonichi Techo mermaid cover, and is therefore designed in the same way: using the textile for long periods of time will gradually wear the exterior gray surface thin, exposing the yellow material beneath it. The embroidery protrudes from the surface of the cover for a texture that’s pleasant to the touch.



    The pouch interior is a calm shade of blue, and the zipper pull contains a looped strap decorated with a butterfly charm.



    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.
