Kikooni Cosmetic Bag “Roy Darkblue” – hand-printed cotton
Deep dark blue with orange tigers in motion, plus a blue-and-white striped binding along the zip. “Roy Darkblue” is the calmer colourway among the Kikooni cosmetic bags, with room for care products and make-up.
Kikooni is a label from Munich, founded by Claudia and Adelheid Zähle. The bag is made in a small workshop in Jaipur, India: the cotton fabric is printed by hand with wooden blocks (block print), followed by Kantha stitching with cotton thread on a sewing machine. A handmade tassel on the zip completes the design. As every piece is printed by hand, the pattern sits slightly differently on each bag than in the pictures.
Items shown as decoration in some pictures are not included.

Care
Kikooni recommends a maximum of 30 °C on a delicate cycle, with the bag turned inside out and in a laundry bag, using a mild detergent without bleach, enzymes or optical brighteners. Add a colour catcher sheet to the first wash, as the natural dyes may still release some pigment. Check the method on an inconspicuous spot first, then let the bag air-dry, ideally in the shade. No tumble dryer.

Frequently asked questions
Which lining does this version have?
This version is lined with striped cotton. Kikooni also makes the design with a water-repellent polyester lining.
Can I wash the cosmetic bag?
Yes, according to Kikooni at a maximum of 30 °C on a delicate cycle, turned inside out, in a laundry bag and with a mild detergent. Add a colour catcher sheet to the first wash and let the bag air-dry, not in the tumble dryer.
Does every bag look exactly like the pictures?
No. Each bag is printed by hand, so the pattern sits slightly differently on every piece. Colours and design match the pictures.
Can I see the bag before buying?
Yes. We carry the Kikooni bags in our Zurich store at Hagenholzstrasse 50b. As we only have a few pieces of each design, it is worth sending a short enquiry to [email protected] before your visit. Ordered online, we deliver within 2–4 working days to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Tip from the roastery: A cosmetic bag and a pack of freshly roasted beans make an easy gift together. Our main recommendation: Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight, both full-bodied; for even more body, Very Nutty. That's our recommendation – one of many.
