◎KENTO HASHIGUCHI × Traditional craftsman Isao Shirai (hand-kneaded silver leaf)
This shopper bag was created through a collaboration between traditional Kyoto craftsmen and young bag designers active in Kyoto.
Our uniquely developed "silver leaf" is made using the traditional "hand-kneaded foil" technique used in Kyoto Nishijin, and by spraying ink onto the leaf, it creates a three-dimensional shadow effect, giving the illusion of an uneven metal surface. As the process is all done by hand, the resulting hand-kneaded silver leaf is a one-of-a-kind material.◎Work Description
The "shopper bag" was inspired by paper bags and has been sublimated into a bag that is also strong. It is based on a paper bag, but it is not too casual and has a sense of elegance. In particular, the metal fittings on the top four corners are accents that make it look like a bag rather than a paper bag. It also has studs on the bottom, so you can place it on the ground without hesitation. The handles are thin, but they are more durable than they look, and you can carry things like a computer. It has an inner pocket so you can use it according to your needs.
・Both the vertical and horizontal shopper bags are just the right size to fit A4 files.
