A New Kind of Grocery Bag

Ancient Japanese papermaking traditions combine with current technology to create these water-resistant, incredibly strong paper tote bags. Using some of the same methods used to make washi paper (traditional Japanese paper made by hand), the family-run Onao paper company combines wood pulp and polyolefin to make this strong, flexible paper. Designed by Naoto Fukusawa.
