Tulip Naaibox hout 13x10cm - 1st

In Japan, it is common to treat your craft equipment with the utmost care. The beautiful handmade sewing boxes from Tulip are based on this idea. By carefully storing your tools and equipment after use, you will be able to use them for longer. These sewing boxes with contents will become a true legacy that you can pass onto loved ones. The box is made of paulownia wood. Japanese people store fragile and precious items, such as kimono fabrics, traditional Japanese theatre masks and ceramics in a box made with paulownia wood, because this wood allows the contents to breathe. Due to this unique property, this type of wood is also called 'living wood'. In addition, paulownia wood is lightweight, soft, grows straight and has a beautiful natural pattern. Each box is hand-painted in Kyoto by artists who specialize in painting traditional Japanese patterns, which you also find on kimonos and fans, for instance.

Each sewing box contains a number of essential supplies for hand sewing. The handmade tools are both beautiful to look at and functional to use. Sustainability has also been taken into account during production. For example, the pincushions, yarn threader, scissors cases and thread spools are handmade with silk fabrics from kimonos that are no longer worn. Which carefully selected fabric is used in your set is a surprise. The handmade scissors are a traditional Japanese design and cut threads easily and neatly. The ruler is made of sustainable bamboo wood, which is resistant to temperature changes and humidity.

This beautiful sewing box has a hinged lid on top and a drawer with a knob at the bottom. The sewing box contains the following items:

The sewing box measures 13 x 10 x 7.5cm and is available in two versions. Supplied per 1 piece.

Please note: all items, from the sewing box to the contents, are handmade, making each item unique. Each item may therefore look slightly different and may differ from the photos.
