Hand Puppet Totes

The Roopuppet Bag Lets You Make Shadow Figures While Shopping

The Roopuppet bag is a series of playful tote bags created by Japanese design house Nendo. The bags were created for the Japanese brand Rootote, which is known for its single pocket tote bags. The Roopuppet bag differs from the traditional Rootote bag in a few ways. The biggest difference is in the color scheme used. Rootote bags are typically decorated by artists. Nendo's bags are intentionally all-black and all-white.

Leaving the bag blank was intentional, as it allowed more focus to be put on the charming hand pocket. Each pocket on the Roopuppet bag is designed to look like an animal. There are a total of four different pockets, which are meant to be a kangaroo, a bear a dinosaur and a plain pocket. The pockets are actually meant to be used as hand puppets, which instantly makes this tote a must-have on all camping trips and sleepovers.
