In a new chapter of thoughtful design, GOOD GOODS ISSEY MIYAKE introduces the “MOKKO BASKET” series, a collection of soft, knit bags inspired by the charm of traditional woven baskets. More than a shopping accessory, each MOKKO bag reimagines the familiar grocery basket as something meant to be carried home, cherished, and reused. Lightweight, washable, and shaped from a single thread, the bags reflect a purposeful simplicity that aligns with evolving lifestyles and everyday routines.
BAGS
Drawing from the tactile language of nature, the MOKKO BASKET collection interprets materials like bamboo and vine through fabric. Each bag in the series features three distinct weaving patterns per colorway, referencing the subtle imperfections and organic textures found in handcrafted baskets. This approach brings warmth to synthetic materiality, allowing the bags to feel both contemporary and comfortingly familiar.
The knitted structure supports ease of use, durability, and adaptability, whether the bags are carried to a local market or tucked into a home setting. Their soft construction allows them to collapse, mold, and integrate naturally into any environment, embodying the qualities of traditional baskets without mimicking them outright.
The MOKKO BASKET series belongs to the broader universe of GOOD GOODS ISSEY MIYAKE, a design initiative launched in 2018 to examine what defines a “good” product. Far from being static, the project thrives on constant experimentation. Each release is shaped by research and a flexible understanding of how accessories can adapt to shifting societal rhythms.
The team behind GOOD GOODS brings a mix of specialties to the table, each contributing to the project’s unique character. Their collective aim is to craft everyday items that feel original and joyful, objects that aren’t just useful but that also forge an emotional connection with the user. In the case of MOKKO BASKET, that bond is formed through familiarity, tactility, and quiet elegance.
The bag delivers practicality wrapped in subtle design sensibility. It’s a reminder that even the most ordinary actions, like grocery shopping, can be reimagined with care, creativity, and intention.
