cornelian taurus by daisuke iwanaga Collection.

A new backpack from the “PACK TOTE” series, which focuses on recycling in homage to leather―said to be the world’s oldest recycling industry.
It opens and closes by tightening the drawcords on both sides. The central hardware not only allows you to attach a key holder or pouch, but also gathers both cord ends together. With a simple, orthodox design and capacity to store items such as A4 documents and a laptop, it’s ideal not only for everyday use but also as a sub-bag.
The twill nylon is recycled from spinning-mill manufacturing waste, discarded fishing nets, and used PET bottles.
Bonding adds a distinctive texture and lightness to the nylon.
For the handle and zip-opening leather parts, H-cow (Hokkaido cowhide) vegetable-tanned in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture is used.
After being finished as a slightly less oily smooth leather, it is pressed at 50℃ to produce a unique clarity and sheen.
The brand’s iconic leather handles sharpen the casual impression of the nylon material.
Lightweight and durable, it folds for use as a travel sub-bag or eco-bag, allowing a wide range of applications without limitation.
A removable bottom board and a nylon shoulder strap are included.
