Perfect for keeping a clove of garlic or bunches of herbs in the pantry, the Ban Inoue Small Vegetable Bag is the petite version of Ban Inoue's collection of 100% cotton muslin storage bags. Made from traditional Japanese mosquito net and designed by craft exhibition planner Akiko Hino, its edges are French-seamed for strength and its base stitched into fold to ensure it opens out wide.
Mosquito net is a time-honoured craft textile of Nara, Japan, that Ban Inoue excels in transforming into elegant, contemporary kitchen items. Each of the Small Vegetable Bags features tightly woven, traditional Japanese Sanada-himo cord loops that pair beautifully with the their colours inspired by nature.
Care instructions: Ban Inoue items are initially starched, they are designed to crumple and soften after washing. Wash in warm water and wring to soften and remove the starch before use. Items may shrink slightly.

Ban Inoue is based in Nara, one of Japan’s famed traditional rural craft regions that was once the heart of the nation’s mosquito net industry. By adapting the traditional cotton gauze weaving techniques, they create contemporary homeware textile items with a simplicity of beauty inspired by Azumi-Momoyama period Japanese arts, culture and nature.
