Shōen large black tote bag

If art excites you, you'll love this large black tote bag from Anekke Shōen.

It's a large bag with a large interior capacity. It has two handles, plus a removable shoulder strap that can be adjusted to different lengths. The interior is lined and has pockets, both inside and at the back.

Anekke Shōen is a tribute to the Japanese painter Uemura Shōen. This artist is considered the mother of Japanese women artists, as she managed to make painting a female profession at a time when women were not allowed to paint professionally. This collection is therefore an ode to art, which sets us free and allows us to portray and create a unique vision of the world.

Anekke is in a painting studio, painting a circle around herself. This stroke is a Japanese artistic practice called "ensō", in which the spirit connects with the brushstrokes to be able to convey emotions. It is also a metaphor for that magical moment when inspiration flows, illuminating the artist so that he or she can create.

It is a collection full of unique details, with shiny touches, personalised pins, handles and patches and a message in Japanese that will remind you every day how important it is to find your ""ikigai"" (your reason for being). It also comes with the collection's keychain.
