Like rattan work, like a birdcage.
A unique presence.
The TORICAGO is the most uniquely designed item among MEISENNE's bags.
The exquisite combination of a leather cage-like frame and Meisen textile fabric – its very structure is the identity of this bag.
The name "birdcage (TORICAGO)" was born from its shape. The pattern of the fabric visible through the cage changes its expression depending on the angle. There's a little bit of excitement every time you carry it.
The combination of this leather frame and fabric, and its shape, is a unique design with no similar products existing in the market. It embodies MEISENNE's approach to craftsmanship, requiring both high-level textile and leatherwork skills.
This bag's design suits both Western and Japanese attire.
"Today, I choose this" – a small yet firm declaration of will, integrated into your daily outfit.

The greatest charm of Isezaki Meisen patterns lies in their boldness. Geometric patterns are freely combined with natural motifs such as flowers and grasses, dyed in unusually vibrant colors for kimonos of that era. Furthermore, the unique "blurring" and "wavering" derived from the pre-dyeing technique called kasuri – where outlines are slightly softened and colors blend smoothly – creates a soft depth not found in other kimonos.
Individuality over formality. Freedom over rules. Meisen was a fabric whose patterns embodied such a spirit. Just as women of that time unhesitatingly chose its colors and patterns, MEISENNE inherits that aesthetic sensibility in a modern form.
What is the Kikko (tortoiseshell) pattern?
It is a geometric pattern with regular hexagons arranged seamlessly. Named "Kikko" (tortoiseshell) due to its resemblance to a turtle's shell, it is one of the traditional patterns that has been used in kimonos and furnishings in Japan for over 1,000 years.
The hexagon is one of the most stable shapes, seen in nature in honeycombs and snowflakes. For this reason, it has been cherished since ancient times as an auspicious pattern symbolizing "longevity, prosperity, and good fortune."
The Kikko pattern textile used in this bag inherits the bold color scheme and geometric aesthetic of Isezaki Meisen, reinterpreted as a modern design.

Care Instructions
A maintenance guide is included with the product.
Neither the leather nor the bag can be washed, as this may cause discoloration or loss of shape.
If soiled, wipe with a cloth or brush.
We recommend using a waterproofing spray to prevent color fading and stains from rain.
(In addition to waterproofing, it also helps to prevent dirt from adhering.)
