TOPDRAWER

Topdrawer is the boutique store concept of the famed store Itoya, started 113 years ago in Tokyo, Japan. Now with stores in San Francisco, LA, Chicago, and Boston, Topdrawer is the best source for Japanese handkerchiefs, house slippers, bento boxes, and travel goods this side of the Pacific. I was brought on board to create sets of illustrative icons to represent the many uses of their handkerchiefs in furoshiki—the art of wrapping goods for transportation. These icons were inspired by the storied history of the company and the colorful textiles used in Topdrawer’s catalog.
