ABOUT
A bag brand with an atelier in Kyoto.
We define bags as an intermediate between fashion and products, and aim to create products that are meaningful even in living spaces other than when going out. The design should be as simple as possible, and we will try to give it individuality. It has three types of development: collection line, classic line, and collaboration.
