It’s giveaway day! For those of you who aren’t familiar with Jacqui Miyabayashi and her divine label Mee a Bee, it can be summed up in four little words “super awesome messenger bags”. They’re made from natural fabrics {mainly cotton and linen}, non-toxic dyes and adorable fabrics. Read on for the giveaway!

Jacqui is a Mum of two from New Zealand who has been located in Japan for the past 15 years. She began Mee a Bee five years ago when she was at home with her second baby with the goal of achieving a balance between flexible working hours, family time and creative time. Over the years she’s added all sorts of sweetness to her collection, and her wares have adorned little shoulders from around the globe.

The Mee a Bee messenger bags are made to fit toddlers and pre-school aged kids and are available in a huge range of fabrics {one of the great joys of living in Japan}. They are perfect for carrying life’s little treats like matchbox cars, snacks, dolls, books, or plans for world domination.
