Wabi sabi is a beautiful Japanese aesthetic that celebrates imperfection, impermanence, and the natural world. It's a philosophy that has been embraced by many people around the world, including those who love to travel.

Wabi sabi finds beauty in the rustic, aged, and weathered. It celebrates the beauty of imperfection and encourages us to slow down, simplify, and appreciate the world around us. This philosophy is perfectly embodied in the bags we offer, which are inspired by Japanese design principles, including wabi sabi.

Ryokō, which means "travel" or "journey" in Japanese, is the perfect complement to wabi sabi. It encourages us to slow down, savor the journey, and appreciate the beauty around us. Our bags embody this philosophy perfectly, allowing travelers to focus on the experience of their journey and the beauty of the world around them.
