Bento Bags

Versatile Bento bags

Multi functionality and durability is one of our core design philosophies. Our bento bags have been designed keeping this ethos in mind. We want each of our minimalistic products to be versatile in use whether it is in the kitchen, in a storage closet, for the market or for travel.

With a traditional Japanese Azuma Bukuro design, our ‘Tanuka’ bento bag is a versatile knot bag with many uses for home and travel. We like to call them ‘an anything bag’.

Use them for storing veggies and fruits, as a project or gift bag, as a travel organizer, as a wrap for a roti or bread box or to carry your lunch box! Pair them with our travel cutlery wrap for a waste free lunch.

We make our bento bags with sustainable fabrics like organic indigenous Kala cotton and hemp.

Sustainable fabrics

What fabric do we use to make our bento bags ?

We have carefully selected a range of sustainable natural fabrics to make our bags to suit different purposes and needs. We currently make our bags in the following textiles

Kala cotton:  Kala cotton is an old-world indigenous cotton variety from Kachchh, Gujarat, India and is by nature sustainable and organic, being cultivated without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. It is a purely rain fed crop that has a high tolerance for both disease and pests.

Hemp: Hemp is one of the oldest known natural textile fabrics and is more than 4 times stronger than cotton, making it extremely durable and long-lasting. The hemp crop is fast growing and  extremely resilient, requiring no pesticides and very little land and water for cultivation.
