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.



Home Spun is a hand-woven textile originally brought to Japan from England during the Meiji period (1868-1912). The thick threads used in the textile are woven by hand in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, one of the last places to carry on this traditional art.



Threads are deliberately left with an uneven thickness to recreate their original hand-spun style. When threads are dyed in a variety of colors — such as red, green, and white — the thin, dense sections receive a deep color, while the larger sections have a lighter color.



While weaving all these together is time-consuming and takes a lot of work, the painstaking process creates a gentle, airy tweed material with a complex color scheme.



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.
