-crumple- shoulder black

◎ About -crumple-

-crumple- means "to crumple".

Following the -FOLD- series, this time too, I was inspired by the characteristics of "paper".

When crumpling paper, the behavior seems intentional at first glance, but if you look at each of the wrinkles in it, you can see that they are happening outside of our intentions.

We are not aiming to wrinkle it.

Wrinkles bring results that are independent of our will.

This time, we evaluate the given result as a design.

It is a kind of generative design (algorithmic design).

In addition, the wrinkles also have an irreproducible live performance.

It is impossible to unfold a piece of crumpled paper and return it to exactly the same state.

◎ Work description

In order to make the best use of the characteristics of the crumple fabric, we have created a special pattern that creates a gap between the front and back fabrics. Even if you put something in it, the outer material has plenty of space, so the wrinkle feeling is maintained. A shoulder bag that is just the size between a sacoche and a tote bag. Since the shoulder strap is 20 mm, the anxiety about the mold is reduced. The length of the shoulder strap is adjustable steplessly (53 ~ 100cm), and we paid attention to how to attach the strap, and finished the design so that the excess strap does not hang down. You can put about one new book in addition to the minimum necessary items such as wallets and smartphones. The crumple series is light and can be rolled into small pieces due to the characteristics of the fabric, making it convenient for storage.

  crumple fabric

  An original nylon special fabric to express the wrinkles of paper with a bag. By pasting an ultra-thin aluminum sheet on the back side of nylon, it maintains its shape change and maintains its shape like crumpled paper. The aluminum sheet inside also has the characteristics of metal, so it is one of the pleasures to look forward to the aging of the fabric due to the usage time.

  * Since the fabric is made by laminating aluminum sheets, it may weaken the communication of the radio wave equipment inside.

  * The aluminum sheet inside will cause metal fatigue as it is used. As you use it, the wrinkles become finer and the fabric itself becomes softer.

  * The fabric has a water-repellent effect, but the effect diminishes as it is used. Also, please handle it with care as it is not completely waterproof.

   

  maintenance:
  Please read the following notes regarding handling. We hope that you will understand the characteristics of the product and use it for a long time.

  ・ If the fabric of the product is light in color, the color may transfer from the clothes you are matching. Pay particular attention to color transfer from denim and used clothing.
  ・ If it gets dirty, wipe it off with a cloth moistened with water. Please note that if there is a period of time after it gets dirty, it will deposit and it will be difficult to remove the dirt.
