At her studio in the ancient city of Nara, Tsuchiya creates elegant, functional textiles for the home in a palette of subtle, muted tones.
Tsuchiya small hand bag with leather handles is hand sewn from handwoven linen. Using a technique she call "futo ori" (thick weave), linen thread and thin strips of linen fabric are woven to give the bags a subtly ribbed surface. Each bag has a small inner pocket.
