Editor’s Note
This season’s “PLAYFUL” theme is perfectly captured in the new “FRUITS” tote, where minimalist design meets a charming, textured fruit mosaic.
Tote Bag, Height 34cm, ¥71,500
The new item “FRUITS” features a fruit motif. By replacing the central piece with a quarter-sized piece, it expresses patterns of strawberries, bananas, and grapes like a mosaic. To enhance realism, embossing is applied to the fruit part of the strawberry, the speckled part of the banana, and the shaded part of the grape. The gap between the minimal, sharp bag and the cute fruit motif links to the season’s theme of “PLAYFUL,” making it a masterpiece.
Handbag, Height 23cm, ¥50,600 / Small Handbag, Height 17cm, ¥37,400
This series uses a material with a matte fabric-like texture for “CARAT,” which evokes the image of gemstone cutting. The handbag shape is created by combining triangular pieces, and by folding in the side gussets, a plump form is achieved. The vivid metal fittings stand out against the light colors, creating a refreshing design perfect for spring and summer.
Crossbody Bag, Height 15.7cm, ¥66,000
The enamel material “LOOP METALLIC” changes shape when worn over the shoulder, creating a rounded, three-dimensional silhouette from the box-shaped body. The length of the strap can be easily adjusted by changing the position of the knot, making it versatile as a crossbody or shoulder bag.
Handbag, Height 17.5cm, ¥143,000 / Small Handbag, Height 14cm, ¥132,000
The simple box-shaped “FOSSETTE” features an external pocket on the back, making it convenient for storing frequently accessed small items. It comes with two straps of different lengths and is a 2WAY specification usable as both a handbag and a crossbody bag. Pastel colors that can brighten your mood are also part of the lineup.
Card Wallet, Height 8.5cm, ¥20,900
This series, featuring a card case with an attached pocket, is sure to be useful for a cashless lifestyle. This season, three colors using the same material and colors as “LOOP METALLIC” will be available.
