Beauty bags
BEAUTY BAG FROM SMUKT SKINCARE SMUK skincare has designed these soft, sustainable and unique toiletry bags out of vintage Japanese kimonos from the 1920s and 1940s. All materials are 100% natural. Beauty bags are all hand-sewn and upcycled in Copenhagen at a small local tailor who puts together the different silk fabrics, so that all the bags are unique in their own way. She puts all her soul and love into them and hand sews many of the details on them. Our Beauty bags are all with silk on the outside and organic cotton on the inside. The beauty bag comes in two different sizes, and can therefore be used both as a practical make-up purse/toilet bag or as a nice clutch/party bag. They all have a zipper that ensures that no contents fall out and get lost. In order for SMUK skincare itself to follow the design process and ensure proper working conditions for the seamstresses, all Beauty bags are upcycled in Copenhagen. There is therefore no intermediate link apart from the transport from Japan to Denmark. All Beauty bags are unique and with different patterns and colours, and there is therefore only one of each Beauty bag. If the bag gets dirty, it can be washed gently in a wool wash at 30 degrees. When possible, we pick up the old kimonos ourselves in Japan and otherwise we find them in various markets in Europe. We are also happy to buy discarded kimonos with stains or broken seams. We can always find areas on the kimono that are perfect for our Beauty bag. There are always new patterns in the shop, so keep an eye out for the perfect one for you or someone you care about.
