Let your creativity flow with your new Shōen shoulder bag and tote bag.
This original medium-sized bag with 3 compartments is going to be one of your new favourites, as you can use it in two different positions: as a shoulder bag or as a handbag. The shoulder strap is adjustable, so you can always adapt it to the length you prefer, and the interior is lined.
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's 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).
