HobonichiDrawer Pouch Áne (Whisker Cat)

  • HOBONICHI STORE ONLY

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 can store and organize your most important items in a single place, making it easy to carry with you anywhere you go.



Whisker Cat places stitched images of cute cats and wavy lines against a deep blue background. The cats’ whiskers are made with white, pink, and light blue threads that have been cut one by one to the perfect length so you can enjoy the feel of the 3D effect against your fingertips. Look closely and you’ll see the faces of the cats vary, including some with wide eyes and some with narrowed eyes. The interior has a lustrous pink material to provide a charming contrast against the blue every time you open the pouch.





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.



We also offer this in a set with the Giving Bag, a cotton bag that can serve as gift wrapping. We recommend this when buying one as a gift.
