minä perhonen x HobonichiTote Bag - light berry (Green)
This small tote bag is made with the same textile used in the minä perhonen Hobonichi Techo light berry (Green) cover. The bag is big enough to fit a Hobonichi Techo Cousin along with your wallet and any other personal items you’ll need when you’re out.
“light berry” features a scattering of red berries grown in the full light of day. It is a charming and imaginable design that brings back many sweet and sour memories of the past.
The material comes in green cotton linen with a gentle touch. It is embroidered with pretty berry embroidery in red and navy threads.
We also recommend using this bag with a matching techo cover.
About minä perhonen
minä perhonen is a brand created by designer Akira Minagawa.
First founded in 1995 under the name minä, and renamed “minä perhonen” in 2003. In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen” means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as a butterfly’s flapping wings.
