The “Drawer Pouch,” part of the Hobonichi Techo lineup, is a pouch that lets you store your favorite and important items all in one place. It’s like carrying around an organized drawer with you wherever you go.



Iwate Home Spun Pom-Pom Tweed is crafted from pastel tweed woven with a variety of yarns, from pale purple and pink to soft and fluffy cream and sparkling metallic gold. The zipper pull is complete with a light purple pom-pom that matches the look of the fabric and adds a touch of cuteness.



The words “Home Spun” in the product name reflect the textile’s distinctive handcrafted character and handwoven feel. The fabric is made at a small factory in Hanamaki, Iwate Prefecture, where every step of the process is carried out in-house, starting with the dyeing of the yarn. The mix of yarns used, including metallic, chenille, and knitted yarns of varying materials and strengths, requires it to be woven at around one-third the normal speed. This slow process allows the fabric to retain air, making it wonderfully soft to the touch. The zipper tape and interior are finished in a matching pale purple.

The Drawer Pouch Áne (AH-nay, “older sister” in Japanese) is the size of a wallet and opens accordion-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 or a Weeks Mega.









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 smartphones 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.

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.
