Drawstring Shoulder Bag • Māmane • Sunset Petal Peach

Don’t get in a pinch, close it with a cinch. The Drawstring is a mighty little rucksack that may take you back to the good old days but it gives modern with a chic shoulder strap and compact design. It carries what you need, and surprisingly a little bit more. It’s just like JL, always a little bit extra 😉

Details:
8" x 5" oval base, 6" height. Fully lined. 
Leather Shoulder Strap has an 11" drop

Made in Hawaii, USA

The flower of the Māmane plant/tree is not an ordinary-looking flower. They are bright yellow, winged, pea-like blooms that feed the endangered honeycreeper, the Palila, and brighten the Hawaiian landscape, to which they are endemic. The flowers look so unique; their petals don’t fan out like those of most flowers. To me the petals take on much quirkier, interesting shapes, like charming little fascinators, and I wanted to capture that. In making this print I wanted to step away from the typically beautiful or popular tropical flowers that often get a lot of attention, and try something different, something new, perhaps. Maybe it’s not very new, maybe I just haven’t seen others do it because it’s not popular. But actually I hope Māmane does become popular, because it’s super cute, and it deserves it! 

Fabric: 
All Jana Lam Handmade in Hawai‘i textiles are silk-screened by hand on cotton fabrics with water-based inks. This piece is made from 100% cotton fabric that is reinforced with interfacing to give the fabric some shape with a soft feel.

Care:
The #janalamfam recommends spot cleaning when smaller spots show up. We usually use Shout Wipes for that, but Jana has used tide pens in the past. Make sure if there is a white top print to be a little more gentle on rubbing spots out. Since the ink sits on top of the fabric a bit more than other colors, there is a chance of the ink rubbing off and getting on other parts of the fabric. 

But, you can put your Jana Lam's in the wash. We usually use a hand wash cycle and lay flat to dry. After it's dried, it is always good to give it a little bit of an iron. We use 100% cotton fabric, so it may shrink in the dryer, but will definitely stand up to ironing.
