'Matcha Psycho' Mini Saikō Echo Green Tote Bag

$850.00

It would be equally apt to call this ‘Mini tote’ an oversized kiss-lock bag, as it’s wide opening clasps to close, incorporating a bejeweled, belt-buckle faux closure at the front. Body and gusseted sides in tea-field green, 2.5 wide welt cotton corduroy. Black leather (calf) handles, base and bottom gusset, and trim. Direct to garment photo-printed cotton and textile full interior lining, with photographic image by Takeshi Hayakawa of the high-mountain tea fields of Obubu Tea Farms, shot on site in Wazuka, Kyoto, Japan, exclusively for the ‘Matcha Psycho/Saikō’ collection by Mr. Sabotage X Gentle Artefacts. Metal hardware at base and on buckle. An iconic everyday piece—perfect for Brooklyn, Paris, or Kyoto; for a casual day or dinner out.
