About 19 minutes by car from Naha Airport. Located in Matsuo, Naha City, on the back street of Kokusai-dori, it is a cloth bag specialty store with Okinawan motifs. The owner, who was born and raised in Ishigaki, creates a variety of cloth goods based on the concept of “carrying Okinawa with you. The colorful and humorous goods will surely capture the hearts of Okinawan lovers.
Point 1: Carry Okinawa with you! What is the location of the cloth goods “MIMURI”?
MIMURI” is located in Matsuo, Naha City, just in the middle of Kokusai-dori (International Street), on a narrow street near the Lawson next to Hotel Collective.
It is a bit strange to find such a narrow street just a little off Kokusai-dori! It is a bit strange to see such a narrow road just off Kokusai-dori. Along the way, you will find Okinawan soba noodle shops, Okinawa zenzai shops, and stores selling Okinawa’s famous confectionery, konpen, making this a street that foodies will love.
Surprisingly, there are also many apparel-related stores, and the street is fun to stroll through, with a relaxed atmosphere that is not found on Kokusai-dori.
A cute store with a pastel green sign is a landmark! Once inside, you will find a wide variety of cloth bags and other goods on display.
Point 2: Introducing “MIMURI’s” tropical-colored cloth bags!
MIMURI’s best-selling products are pouches and tote bags made of cloth printed with tropical flora and fauna.
There are many different types of cloth bags, ranging from large tote bags that can hold a lot of stuff, A4 size bags with zippers, mini bags that are perfect for lunch time, backpacks, shoulder bags with lids, flat bags that can be used as eco-bags, and even laminated bags. There is a wide variety of bags, from A4-size bags with a zipper
The variety is so great that many people have a hard time deciding on just one!
But if you are looking for a bag to start with, we recommend the A4 size bag, which is just right for your needs.
The colorful and unique tropical prints will brighten your mood!
Point 3: Introduction of goods other than “MIMURI” bags
MIMURI” offers a wide variety of products in addition to tote bags and eco-friendly bags.
Chokotte wallets, mini wallets, tissue cases, etc. are also recommended as small souvenirs. There are also handkerchiefs, pen cases, and book covers. These goods have become less and less popular due to the advancement of digital technology, but it is nice that they are being sold on purpose.
In addition, large pouches, pouches with a gusset, and drawstring pouches are useful for travel, no matter how many you have.
Gardening aprons and luncheon mats make great gifts for mothers.
Chiffon necklaces, bonbon necklaces, chou chou, and camera straps also attracted my interest.
The owner seems to like cats, as there is a signature cat in the store. There are also super cute, ribbon and bandana shaped, chokers for cats.
As you can see, although the store is not very spacious, it is filled with countless tropical print fabric items! I could feel the owner’s love for the tropics and cats. Please visit the shop and see for yourself.
