Hamanaka Lather (OVAL/DARK BROWN) Bag Base

Give your handmade creations a "boutique" finish with the Hamanaka Oval Bag Base.  Crafted in Japan from high-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), this base offers the sophisticated look of dark brown leather with the durability and weather-resistance of modern materials. Whether you are working with sturdy cotton cord, eco-friendly raffia, or plush Japanese yarns, this base provides the architectural support needed for large tote bags and market shoppers. 

The base comes with 70 pre-punched holes, perfectly spaced to allow you to crochet or knit directly into the foundation. To ensure maximum longevity and a "no-sag" bottom, Hamanaka includes a specialized reinforcing sheet made of Polyethylene foam. This hidden layer adds a crisp, flat structure to the interior of your bag, making it sturdy enough to hold your essentials—from laptops to yarn stashes—without losing its elegant oval silhouette. 

Why Hamanaka Bases are a Maker's Choice

• Professional Structure: Eliminates the "sagging bottom" common in purely yarn-based bags, giving your work a structured, high-end look. 

• Made in Japan Quality: Hamanaka is world-renowned for precision; the holes are perfectly uniform for snag-free stitching. 🇯🇵

• Ready-to-Stitch: With 70 pre-measured holes, you can skip the difficult task of punching your own leather and get straight to the "happy stitching." 

• Reinforced Stability: The included foam sheet provides a double layer of protection and support that standard bases lack.
