Hikaru Series - Shiny shell bag

Brand: Mate Mono 

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. Mate Mono has created a bag that has just the right amount of elegance and can be used for both formal and casual occasions.

Item Description: 

Taking advantage of a fabric’s natural sheen, originally intended for curtains, this beautifully shaped drawstring shoulder bag—aptly named “Shell”—resembles a glistening seashell when cinched tight. Its elegant drape, narrow handles, and refined silhouette make it suitable for both everyday use and formal occasions.

Though compact, the Shell bag fits essentials like a wallet, smartphone, and cosmetics with ease. Designed for versatility, it can be worn cross-body or over the shoulder, freeing up your hands for shopping, travel, or events. It’s also perfect as a secondary mini-bag for quick access to small items like a phone or lipstick. Whether carried by hand or worn with the strap, it adds a stylish and sophisticated touch to any outfit.

Originally conceived to repurpose unused fabric, its blend of elegance and practicality quickly won admiration.
