Product Details

  • Era: Late Showa period (circa 1970s–1980s)

  • Handle Material: Plastic

  • Body Material: Felt, possibly polyester (please refer to the photos for confirmation)

This granny bag with a plastic ring handle was popular in Japan during the late 1970s–1980s. The bag body is made of felt fabric, featuring a rounded silhouette and large ring that draw attention, giving it a modern design.

At that time, the spread of home sewing machines and the handicraft boom encouraged many people to make these bags at home using patterns published in magazines and craft books. Ready-made versions were also sold, but it was common to purchase materials and sew the bag at home, making it a beloved "mom’s handmade bag."

The 1970s were a period of rapid economic growth in Japan, bringing a wealthier lifestyle and playful, modern designs in fashion and accessories. Unlike bamboo or fabric handles, plastic ring handles offered a colorful and contemporary impression, making the bags easy to coordinate with clothing and popular among young women and housewives alike.

Today, these bags are called granny bags and are re-evaluated as iconic pieces of Showa-era retro fashion. They bring nostalgia while still feeling fresh when paired with modern fashion.

Perfect for those who want to enjoy Showa-era lifestyle and fashion culture, as well as lovers of retro accessories and vintage bags.

Note: The bag will be compressed for shipping, which may cause wrinkles. Please be aware in advance.
