This large cotton tote comes in several fun designs, each showing Shibata-san's charming Shiba personality – from a well-behaved good boy to a stubborn little dog who simply refuses to go for a walk, a sightseeing Shiba in the middle of Tokyo, a proud Shiba in front of Mt.

Good to know

These totes are hand-printed in India, one color at a time. Small shifts in the print, tiny knots or specks in the natural cotton, and a light natural smell from the cotton and ink (which fades with use) are part of their handmade charm.

Colors may look slightly different on your screen.
