TOTE BAG #OFF WHITE [AL1226BG-09]

■ AL (Ol)
We live in an age where with just a smartphone, we can freely enjoy our personal creativity anytime, anywhere.
The Internet is a place where people have different values ​​than their own.
It taught me that there are things in the world that are natural.

It's a fun thing that you wouldn't see if you denied it and closed your eyes.
Now that the world has opened up, how about thinking like this?
Instead of rejecting it, think of it as an option.
With such kindness.

"You may also like"

There may be another one I like.
We at AL want to give you another option.

[Another option]
Do not use laser.

AL has decided so. This is not a denial of leather,
We wanted to offer another way of enjoying bags to people who love them.
We choose traditional materials as an alternative to leather.
(But it is different from traditional materials.)

The brand name "AL" comes from the English adjective "alternative."
We at AL (actually there is another origin to the name) focus on the product called bags.
We would like to propose another option as an alternative to leather.

In Kyoto we discover a certain material.
The material was a canvas made from string.
But it is a canvas and not a canvas.

The canvas, created using traditional Kyoto techniques, retains its attractive appearance while providing a soft, comfortable texture unlike anything you've seen before.
We are fascinated by the alternative feel.

Having witnessed Kyoto's traditional techniques, we believed.
The potential of Japanese manufacturing can be expanded.
Japanese manufacturing still has value and appeal that we can be proud of on a global scale.
There is great potential in Japanese manufacturing.

Choice over denial.
More humor than seriousness.
Rather than giving up on reality, believe in the possibilities.

Surely there is a joy beyond that that we never knew existed.
There's surely more fun to be had from bags that we don't yet know about.
The simple form makes it easy to feel the comfort of the material, and the lightness it feels when you carry it on your shoulder gives it a charm that is different from traditional bags, and it feels good against your skin, conveying the joy we have discovered.

With these words.

■ Product Description
A handbag from AL. Shaped like a furoshiki, this bag is held by gripping the knot. The fabric is made from washi paper thread and cupra thread woven in Fujiyoshida, at the foot of Mt. Fuji. In addition to the lightness that is characteristic of paper, it is highly functional with strong durability, excellent water absorption and quick drying, and the cupra thread running through the warp creates a silk-like luster, giving it an elegant impression that cannot be created with paper thread alone. It can be used as a main bag, or you can keep it in your regular bag. It has one inside pocket and comes with a special bag.

Please be careful not to catch it on other things when using it. If stored in a humid place, it may become moldy, smelly, or deteriorate.
