I just love the design of these Japanese knot bags They are a large size knot bag and are made by me in my home in Devon. I developed the design and pattern of these roomy Japanese knot bag to make them bigger, added an internal zipped pocket and a flat circular base. When full they can stand independently and make a beautiful simple organic shape. To close you put the longer strap through the shorter one. simple but amazingly effective. The internal zipped pocket is a really good size with plenty of room for purses, wallets and phones. Good to keep your essentials safe. The space inside the bag is plenty big enough to hold a packed lunch, water bottle, jumper and so on. My daughter uses hers daily for work. It makes a wonderful everyday bag and or could also make a great Yoga or Pilates bag.
