Hey Ariel! Nice to see you, thanks for chatting with us about your Tsuchiya Bags. First question: Is this your work bag or everyday bag? When do you use your bag?”

Anytime I need my work things (laptop, etc) with me when I leave my studio.

What does this bag say about you?

I think it makes me feel a bit more grown up and professional. It's a very beautiful bag, but it also has a commanding quality to it that seems cultivated and experienced.

A flat lay shows various tech gadgets and personal items, including a laptop, smartphone, two cameras, sunglasses, a blue pouch, keys, and charging cables, arranged on a surface.

What’s in your bag? Can we have a peek?

Almost always my "essentials" meaning laptop, keys, sunglasses, necessary documents needing my attention, probably a protein bar, and one of my cameras.

If someone found your bag and looked inside, what would they think of you?

I think they would want to meet me right away😉

What’s the most important item you carry in your bag?

Typically it's my laptop, I'm very dependent on it!

I may not use this pocket very often, but this is actually my favorite part of this bag. Every once in a while I will have a need to stash something small or flat, and this pocket is great for that but mostly I just think it gives the bag character. It’s just a nice detail.

I really appreciate that I don't need to use a separate laptop case, this interior pocket fits my laptop (MacBook Pro 16 inch) perfectly and protects it.

A room with light yellow walls features shelves displaying books and framed artwork, along with chairs and several tote bags hanging from a rail.

Thank you Ariel! We love your style and the way you wear your Tsuchiya bags!
