The drawstring bag is made from a Japanese Kimono and lined with either a Kimono or a lining fabric. The bag is commonly used for a lunch box in Japan or a purse to wear with a Kimono. You can use this bag in many ways.  I use mine when traveling and put my personal items in it. The Drawstring bag can be washed by hand and layed flat to dry. Depending on the fabric it may need to be touched up with an iron.
