Tembea's simple well made bags are good for many uses. Most bag brands have a pretty standard tote bag available these days, but Tembea have taken it upon themselves to create a series of specific bags for baguettes, books and newspapers.

Tembea's fine range of bags continues to get finer. Their canvas goods have been picked up by a handful of retailers outside of Japan, however I haven't seen these indigo tote bags before. The nice shades of blue look so good together, it's tempting to get both sizes in different colors.

Tembea is a Japanese bag brand I recently came across through the Utility Coop, one of my favorite Japanese online shops. The tough canvas bags come in a lot of different sizes and shapes to fit a big haul of acorns or a healthy supply of baguettes. The bags themselves do look really good, but it was the great product shots that really caught my eye. Something that you don't see all too often, but I really appreciate. The colors and small situations the bags are in just look right and make the product and brand even more appealing.

It seems to be turning into a bit of a bag day on the blog today, which I’m never ashamed of. I definitely love bags, especially canvas bags. I have more than I need and the end is not in sight. This brand Tembea from Japan has a great aesthetic and consistently producing a great looking product. Some of the best canvas and tough cottons come from Japan so it’s no surprise that a brand like this can make a great product for a reasonable price. The XL Harvest tote comes with a nice liner that helps protect your belongings and makes it a little more versatile in poor weather.
