Stretchy Bag

For nearly 80 years, Komatsu Matere has been developing new textiles and dyeing processes for numerous industries, from automobile upholstery to designer labels.
With such varied manufacturing comes inevitable quantities of leftover and cut-off fabric, something the company is addressing with mate-mono, its own brand of upcycled textile and minimum-waste goods.

Item Description: 

Crafted using a special knitting machine, this handbag intricately weaves Komatsu Materre's proprietary yarn, into a captivating bag. During the dyeing process, the material undergoes shrinking, resulting in condensed fibers that create a unique and appealing texture. Unlike sewn products that generate cut losses, it ensures no wastage of resources. It features a stretchable polyurethane thread woven in a flexible pattern, creating a plush texture that exudes a strong presence. Depending on the items placed inside, the bag's design transforms into various forms, thanks to its elastic nature. As the name suggests, its excellent elasticity provides more storage capacity than meets the eye. With the ability to be held by knotting the handle or worn on the shoulder, this bag excels in both design and functionality, allowing versatility for different uses and occasions. Its compact size makes it a recommended choice to carry as an eco-bag, conveniently hidden inside another bag when not in use!
