Ode to the Penny | #227, Eco Tote Bag

$35.00
Select Title

Printed and ships free from US warehouses • Arrives in 3-6 days

This eco tote bag carries the same historical calm as “Ode to the Penny.” The wheat-back design — simple, symmetrical, and deeply rooted in American numismatic history — becomes a quiet emblem of value beyond currency.

A final homage to a coin that once meant everything and almost nothing at the same time.

On Bag Quote
“Small worth, long story.”
小さな価値、長い物語。

We create each product only when you order it — zero waste, zero excess inventory. Our made-to-order process takes 3–4 days before shipping, but this thoughtful approach helps us eliminate overproduction and reduce our environmental impact.

Rather than contributing to fashion waste, every ichinichi design is printed fresh specifically for you. No mass production, no unsold inventory ending up in landfills. It's sustainable fashion by design — slower, more intentional, and better for the planet.

Your product doesn't come from a warehouse pile; it's created with purpose, one order at a time.

Yes! We ship worldwide with free international shipping. Orders ship from the closest warehouse to you - US orders from the US, EU orders from the EU, etc. Allow 2-5 business days for production, then shipping time based on your location (US: 3-6 days, International: varies by region).
