Aiko Fukawa - Knit Cherry Kitty Bag
A knitted market bag by Japanese illustrator Aiko Fukawa, made with the sweetest intention: "Let's take flowers and go meet the people we want to see."
Created specifically for this bag, Fukawa's illustration has been translated into high-gauge knit—a process that captures the gentle, hand-drawn quality of her original artwork in soft, textured fabric. The design is different on each side, giving you two patterns to enjoy, while the integrated handles and body create that classic market bag silhouette we love.
With a glossy, dry-feel finish, this is a year-round piece that's both substantial and surprisingly light. The 12cm depth gives it a pleasingly rounded shape when filled, and there's real versatility in how you carry it—handles upright for structure, or draped over one shoulder for a more relaxed, gathered look.
It works beautifully as your main everyday bag, but it's also practical enough to fold away and use as a thoughtful alternative to disposable shopping bags. The knitted construction is soft and forgiving with your belongings—gentle on glass bottles, kind to fruit, easy on anything that might bruise.
A bag that brings a bit of Aiko Fukawa's warmth and optimism into daily life. For you, or for someone you'd like to go and meet.
