Motherhouse Launches Limited Edition Leather Accessories Featuring Beloved Winter Animals “Shimaenaga” and “Ermine”

Motherhouse has released two exclusive leather accessories inspired by winter’s iconic white animals: the Shimaenaga Pouch (¥8,250 tax included) and the Ermine Pen Case (¥9,350 tax included). These limited edition winter accessories are available only during the season at Motherhouse’s nationwide retail stores and official online store.

Artisan-Crafted Designs Capturing the Charming Expressions of Shimaenaga and Ermine

Peeking out playfully on a glittering snowy field, these two adorable creatures—seen only in winter—transform into fluffy white fur to endure the cold and hide in the snow. Now, their irresistible charm is captured in these beautifully crafted leather goods. The Shimaenaga and Ermine serve as delightful motifs for this exclusive seasonal collection, handcrafted with care by skilled artisans.

“Shimaenaga Pouch” – A Snow Fairy in the Palm of Your Hand

Nicknamed the “Snow Fairy” for its irresistibly cute appearance, the Shimaenaga—a tiny bird that looks like a fluffy snowball—has been transformed into a charming pouch. This Shimaenaga pouch captures its signature round shape and features delicate details like the bird’s yellow eye line and short beak. Each piece is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans, bringing the bird’s unique charm to life in this adorable animal-inspired leather accessory.

Perfect for holding small essentials like throat lozenges, supplements, or earphones, this multi-purpose pouch is as functional as it is cute. A loop is attached at the top of the Shimaenaga’s head, allowing you to add your favorite strap and enjoy carrying it around like a portable keychain pouch. It’s a fun and charming way to take your Shimaenaga travel pouch wherever you go.

“Ermine Pen Case” – Adorably Detailed and Expertly Handcrafted

The Ermine Pen Case captures the sweet image of an ermine standing upright with its round, beady eyes—transformed into a unique and functional leather pen holder. Despite its cute appearance, the structure of this pen case is quite complex, and each one is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans.

From the stitched mouth and leather-crafted nose to the expressive facial details, every part has been lovingly brought to life. The artisans even recreated its distinct features like the placement of the ears, the shape of the head, and the subtle curve beneath the neck.

Not only is it charming, but it’s also practical—this pen case can stand upright like a pen holder, making it a space-saving desk accessory that keeps your workspace tidy and stylish.
