Inspired by the revival of vinyl records, 80s record bags were taken as the design motif. The unique square shape is based on traditional Japanese Origami (the art of paper folding) and Yose-zaiku (marquetry) techniques. Rose Madder textile is dyed with natural madder roots, which is a traditional Japanese herbal dyeing technique. The original heather colour is achieved by weaving the canvas fabric from the unevenly-dyed threads, beautifully transforming the subtle hues as light and perspective shift. Entirely constructed from folded layers of 100% organic cotton sailcloth, this bag boasts a soft silhouette and deep texture, qualities that petroleum-derived synthetic fibres and leather products lack. Japan-made quality metal parts are used to stand the test of time. The colour of this garment will change over time due to the use of chemical-free natural herb-dye. Although the fabric is UV-cut treated, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or fluorescent light can cause the colour to fade. To retain the original colour for as long as possible, please store in a place away from light. If sand or dirt adheres to the product, remove it with a dry cloth or soft brush. For water-soluble stains, hand wash the soiled area in room temperature water and be sure to dry it in its original shape before use. Use only neutral agents if necessary and never use alkaline, bleach, fabric softeners or brighteners.
