Collection Line#1 FOLD Series

KENTO HASHIGUCHI

KENTO HASHIGUCHI introduces the FOLD series in the experimental production line "COLLECTION LINE" that explores new possibilities for bag design.


-FOLD-

The FOLD series is a line developed in the 2020-21 Fall / Winter collection. Designer Hashiguchi was inspired by three-dimensional origami, and the theme is "folding (-FOLD-)".

The material is domestic cowhide (oil leather).


By digging the back of the leather with a chisel, it expresses a unique silhouette of folding that is impossible by sewing.


To minimize stitching, it is made from almost one pattern.


The FOLD series has a lineup of 16 works. Each piece is dug with a chisel, so the curved and straight lines make the simple bag stand out.


全作品紹介

-FOLD- crystal

A handbag made with the image of crystals.


The carving of the chisel is straight and edgy.


Available in two black and white colors.


It features a uniquely shaped bag height and a similar handle length.


The bottom is pentagonal, with a design that expands slightly from the bottom and becomes smaller toward the top.


There is a zipper on the back. The fact that the zipper is on the front emphasizes not only simplicity but also individuality.


It measures 15 cm wide and 19 cm high and weighs 140 grams, making it extremely lightweight, but it can hold iphone X-sized smartphones and small wallets.


-FOLD- twist

A handbag with a design that is twisted 45 degrees from the bottom to the top.


The square on the top is designed to be larger than the bottom, so the silhouette when viewed from the front is sophisticated.


Available in two black and white colors.


Since the fastener is attached to the side surface, it is also characteristic that it is twisted together with the side surface.


Since the bottom has a bottom stud, it is stable even if the bottom is smaller than the top.


The capacity is the largest compared to the FOLD series handbags (crystal).

In addition, relatively small items such as smartphones and coin cases can be stored.



-FOLD- square

A handbag that looks like a cube and features silver buttons at the joints of the handles.


By digging the corners of the cube in a curved shape on both sides, a rounded silhouette appears in the shape of the square, resulting in a simple yet distinctive design.


Available in two black and white colors.


The double-sided zipper opens to the bottom of the side, making it easy to put things in and out.


Also, since the bottom has a bottom stud, you can easily place it on the ground.


It's compact yet thick, so the capacity is perfect and it's the perfect size for going out.



-FOLD- square sholder

A shoulder bag with a characteristic cube-like shape.


By digging the corners of the cube in a curved shape on both sides, a rounded silhouette appears in the shape of the square, resulting in a simple yet distinctive design.
