Description
Crafted in Kiryu City, a town renowned for its textile tradition that has been ongoing for 1,300 years, this Gobelin woven bag is made by Japan’s prestigious and precise weaving factory.
At Mogi Bag Shop, we search for fabrics used in interior design by visiting weaving factories and apply a powerful water-repellent treatment to them for use in our bags. This water-repellent treatment maintains its effectiveness even with regular use, offering high practicality. The bags are lightweight compared to leather while maintaining high quality.
Among Mogi Bag Shop’s products, the Gobelin woven bags stand out for their advanced technology. Gobelin weaving, originally brought to Japan from Europe with dishware, is produced by only a few companies in Kiryu. Japanese-made Gobelin fabric is extremely rare, using rayon and polyester for the warp and weft threads. This makes the fabric exceptionally durable and capable of expressing intricate and deep patterns.
With a decrease in skilled artisans, this product represents a rare and valuable example of Japan’s specialized technology.

History of Kiryu’s Weaving Industry: Kiryu City’s weaving industry has a long history dating back to the Nara period. The silk weaving techniques were introduced from China, and domestic production began in Japan. By the Heian period, Kiryu’s fabrics were widely used among nobles and samurai, recognized for their high quality. During the Edo period, Kiryu’s weaving industry developed rapidly, becoming nationally known for its high-quality silk fabrics.
In the Meiji period, Kiryu’s fabrics were exported overseas, significantly contributing to Japan’s foreign currency earnings. Kiryu City became an important hub for the textile industry, making up a portion of Japan’s GDP. After the war, Kiryu City worked hard to revive the textile industry, incorporating new technologies and designs to expand domestic and international demand.
Today, Kiryu City continues to offer products that blend traditional weaving techniques with modern design and technology. In addition to the textile industry, manufacturing and tourism industries are also thriving. The city is home to many museums and historical buildings related to weaving, attracting tourists. Annual textile festivals and events also draw many visitors. Kiryu City, with its 1300-year history as a weaving town, continues to develop by merging tradition with innovation. Mogi Bag Store plays a crucial role in conveying Kiryu City’s tradition to the modern world.
