We accept returns on full-price items. Please contact orders@mokuyobi.com and let us know your name, order number, and reason for returning to begin the return process. We do not accept international exchanges. If you would like to exchange an item, please return the item you have ordered and place a new order online for the item you would like.

Mokuyobi's products are made in the USA with durable materials and quality construction. All Mokuyobi bags come with a lifetime warranty from manufacturer's defects. If you have any issues with your bag just reach out to us at info@mokuyobi.com with a description and pictures of the problem. We’ll provide instructions on how to send your bag to us. We want to ensure that your well loved bag is in it for the long haul!

Please note that when an item for repair has been received, it will take 1-2 weeks for us to make the adjustment and ship the item back to you.

All of our size charts can be found on each product listing page below the description. Once you click the link you will find clearly marked industry standard measurements we have taken for each size.

We recommend that you look at the specific product listing of the item you are looking to purchase. We do our best to make every new garment match perfectly to our sizing requirements but each item may vary slightly depending on the finishing process.

If you have further questions regarding the fit of a certain item, please don’t hesitate to contact us at orders@mokuyobi.com. We want to make sure you’ll be comfortable in and thrilled with your purchase!

We can make adjustments to the strap of bags at no additional cost. Just make a note at checkout or reach out to orders@mokuyobi.com with your order number. Please note that if we make an adjustment to your bag, it is ineligible for a return.

With new apparel items, please take care by washing them on cold with a like-colored old towel to help soak up any loose dye for the first two washes. Do not let new items sit wet in the washer once the cycle has finished- this will cause dye transfer. Make sure to immediately put them in the dryer. Please tumble dry on a low setting.

To keep your vibrant clothes looking new, we suggest only washing them with other colorful items. Washing them with dark clothing will cause them to fade and become muddy. Keep your beautiful colors away from any harsh detergents, stain removers, and bleach. If you have any specific questions, please reach out to us at orders@mokuyobi.com.

All apparel items are pre-washed, and will not shrink. The measurements that we list will remain the same after you wash your item. We offer a premium product. We want you to be confident in the fit when you purchase, not wondering how much it will shrink after you wash it once.

All of our cotton or nylon bags are machine washable but should not be put in the dryer as it will affect the foam material. If your bag gets dirty we recommend using a light stain remover on any trouble spots and washing your bag on the cold setting. Your bag may also be hand washed. After washing, please hang it to dry. Do not leave the bag to soak in still water for any extended period of time.

We are constantly creating in our Wizard Workshop! While there’s a lot of love for previous Mokuyobi goodies, but we do have to make room for new creations. If an item is sold out and remains on the website, it is most likely going to be restocked in the near future. We recommend clicking on the "email when available" button on the right side of our website so you can be notified when the product and/or your size comes back in stock.

All of our products are made in Los Angeles, California where we work with local contractors that we pay fair living wages. Supporting our economy by producing products locally is essential to our values and what Mokuyobi is about. Whenever possible our fabrics and materials are sourced from within the US. All of our bags are designed by our CEO, Founder, & Designer, Julie Pinzur, who sews all of the first samples to give to our bag manufacturers to mass produce. Read more about our values here.

Our Sample Sale is a once a year event that we host in-person every Spring and online one week later where you can score tons of styles at super deep discounts on products that have a limited size offering or may have minor damages such as small holes, misprints, or dye inconsistencies. This sale is a great opportunity to fill your wardrobe with awesome Mokuyobi pieces that won't break the bank.

Because we are offering these styles at such low prices we are not able to accept returns or exchanges on any sale item that was purchased during our Sample Sale. These items are all FINAL SALE.

Please email orders@mokuyobi.com for all customer service inquiries.

If you are interested in carrying our products please apply here for a wholesale account. Let us know about your business and where you are located. We’ll follow up with some additional information, agreements, and where to sign up! We’re looking forward to working with you!

Presently, during a site wide sale, our system does not accept Gift cards AND discounts codes at once. One or the other will need to be utilized. We hope to have both options soon!

Mokuyobi means Thursday in Japanese. To us, Thursday is the best day of the week. We believe that there is always something to look forward to. Whether it’s Thursday, your buddy‘s party, vacation time, or a hot date; that there are always good things coming that spark excitement. We strive to create that same spark in you when your Mokuyobi package arrives.

In part, we chose our name as an homage to Japan and the respect we have for its people and culture.

The mountain in our logo represents a personal challenge; something you want to achieve or overcome. The lights that come out from behind the mountain are the mystery that awaits you, glowing in the distance. Only once you have climbed your “mountain” and reached the peak will the unknown be revealed to you.

Our Founder and Creative Director, Julie, has always had an affinity for mountains which you can see from the multiple mountain patch designs we offer. She thinks they are a beautiful metaphor for obstacles as well as a visual wonder.

We have had this logo since 2016. Before then our logo was a flag as well as some other earlier iterations since our founding in 2006.

Some people are excited to call the mountain in our logo Mt. Fuji. We are happy for any positive association our customers and fans have with any art that we create. We do not inform the experience of anyone who views our designs.

Little Tokyo is a vibrant district filled with shops and restaurants that is frequented by locals and tourists alike. The space that we are leasing was vacant for 10+ years after the restaurant there closed in the early 2000s. It was briefly an office space for 2 years and then sat vacant for another 2.5 years before we expressed interest in the location. No businesses were pushed out or rent rates were changed by us moving into this one consistently vacant second floor space.

Little Tokyo is thriving and we embrace the long history and valued character of the neighborhood. We love this neighborhood and are excited to share the other shops and restaurants we frequent here with the customers and fans that visit our store. We are not changing the character of the neighborhood as we join many other non-Japanese and non-JA business owners in Little Tokyo.

As we stated earlier, our name is an homage to Japanese culture, however our name does not dictate our design or aesthetic. We offer a unique product that is not borrowing from any specific culture. We love to use color in unique and fun palettes as well as playful and abstract prints. Our goal as a brand is to make fun and functional products with high quality fabrics and materials that are locally made with fair and ethical production practices.

Countless community members and local Little Tokyo businesses have expressed support to us for opening in the area. The business owners of Little Tokyo are a diverse group that all share the same immense love for the area, and we have greatly enjoyed getting to know them as we prepared our new location. Historically, Little Tokyo has always welcomed any shop that opened in the community, and this has not changed. Little Tokyo is a friendly, supportive place that is open to all to with the goal of starting a business, participating in the community, or just visiting to enjoy the area.

We are aware of a group of individuals that has been spreading false and defamatory information about us online. We find it very disheartening that a group claiming to represent positive values has chosen to express itself this way. While this is a shame, we accept that we cannot control what is posted online and that the internet does not reflect real life.

We will not engage with any message or comment that is meant to degrade or shame. We have zero-tolerance for this behavior and our social media pages are not a platform for others’ hateful rhetoric and bullying. We exist to promote positivity and spread joy. To anyone who comes to Little Tokyo at some point, we are excited for you to experience the friendly environment and lovely community that has welcomed us along with so many others.

We hope that any individual who purchases our products does so because they like our offerings, quality, and ethical practices.
