About Mokuyobi

Mokuyobi is a Los Angeles-based contemporary brand blending nostalgic influences with modern design. From texture-centric and print-forward fabrics to sculptural, functional bags, we prioritize usability and comfort. Made ethically and locally in small batches for women who value color, craft, and live with intention. Everything we make comes from a clear set of values. We produce locally in Los Angeles, where we follow fair labor practices, visit our production spaces, and work closely with people we know and trust. We treat manufacturing as a creative process, not a mass operation. We make small batches with intention, so every item reflects the time and thought that went into it. Julie Seastrom founded Mokuyobi in 2006. She has been sewing for over twenty years and still creates every first product by hand. Every pattern, every sample, every shape begins with her. Julie thoughtfully develops each design from a clear vision in her mind, transforming creativity into a fully realized, sewn product. This is not a process handed off to someone across the world. It is personal, physical work. It is her craft. In a world where many brand owners never touch the products they sell, Julie stays involved in every detail. That closeness shapes the entire brand and defines the kind of care you can see and feel in every piece. When you invest in a Mokuyobi bag, it is made to last a lifetime. We offer a lifetime warranty from manufacturer's defects on all our bags. Read their story
