CLASKA Gallery & Shop “DO” × TEMBEA: Original Tote Bags for Yoga Mats
CLASKA Gallery & Shop “DO”
2-Way Original Yoga Mat Tote Bag
Collaboration with TEMBEA
TEMBEA is a brand that creates bags designed for carrying items like baguettes, magazines, clothing, and newspapers. They primarily use thick canvas and offer a wide variety of colors and shapes, including their classic baguette tote. Their fabrics soften with use, developing a unique texture that earns them a devoted following. Now, in response to a fervent request from CLASKA Gallery & Shop “DO”, they have collaborated to release an original tote bag for yoga mats.

Join CLASKA’s "Sunrise Yoga and Breakfast Gathering"!
The number of yoga enthusiasts is growing year by year, drawn by its benefits for both mind and body. It's said that there are already over a million practitioners in Japan alone. The staff at CLASKA Gallery & Shop “DO” also have a high rate of yoga practitioners, and their event "CLASKA Sunrise Yoga and Breakfast Gathering" held on the CLASKA rooftop is extremely popular. It was from this background that the "TEMBEA "YOGA TOTE" for DO" was born.
After much trial and error regarding size, shape, handle length, and attachment method, the resulting masterpiece accommodates yoga mats with a diameter of approximately 11 centimeters when rolled. It's perfectly sized for a 3.5-millimeter thick yoga mat, which is common for carrying. The 2-way design, featuring both handles and a strap, allows for versatile carrying options depending on the situation. It won't be a nuisance even on a crowded train.
To commemorate this release, CLASKA Gallery & Shop “DO” Shibuya will host a TEMBEA fair starting Friday, August 26th. A wider selection than usual, including the "TEMBEA "YOGA TOTE" for DO", is expected to be available.
The appeal of TEMBEA bags lies in their ability to be "loved and nurtured" over time. What kind of character will the bag develop as the user's yoga level improves? That anticipation itself can become a goal.
