Years ago, before the sold-out theaters around the world, Atsuko Okatsuka walked onstage at The Bell House in Brooklyn carrying one of our very first bags, and we’ve been quietly losing our minds about it ever since.

She’s carried us across stages, cities, and countries: joyful, brilliant, an immigrant like us, and easily the best-dressed person in any room. For years we joked about making a bag together, until one day we stopped joking and started drawing, side by side, over many cups of tea and at least one argument about fringe length (she won).

The result is Atsuko The Drop, a soft leather backpack with her peeking out from under that famous bowl cut. It comes in Classic Black, with a secret lining in her favorite color, and in Lipstick Red, borrowed straight from her lips in The Intruder and every bit as loud.

Alongside it is a limited-edition silk scarf in the same print, the only thing soft enough for that face.

The first 20 purchases come in a numbered collectible box signed by Atsuko herself. She’ll be looking up at you from your shoulder all day, which is either comforting or a little unsettling, depending on how your day’s going. Either way, we love her, and we think you will too.
