10P10CFound these great bag accessory series called “hagi hagi” on Japanese online handmade site, Iichi. They are the creations of textile artisan Yoko Toyoda who studied the techniques of color paste printing and dyeing. The artist creates her fabric collage utilizing a combination of natural materials including dyed cloth and recycled cotton denim and linen. These pieces are sold under the brand, 10P10C, here on Iichi.
