Description

Inspired by the Ga word Kotoku, meaning sack, the Kotoku Tote reimagines a familiar everyday form through refined craftsmanship.

Frayed detailing celebrates the reconstruction process, while the gingham lining adds an unexpected touch of character.

Designed to move effortlessly between function and style, the Kotoku Tote reflects Vintage Culture Studio's philosophy of transforming reclaimed materials into elevated, intentional design.
