Tsutaya Bookstore's Craftsmanship: Two-Way Tote L / Tote Bag Tsutaya Bookstore Limited

This is a tote bag that can be used in two ways.
When you have fewer items, use it as a flat "round bag" that takes advantage of the rounded bottom. When you have many items, expand the gussets to create a three-dimensional "square bag" that can stand upright.
It stands on its own, making it convenient to place on a desk or floor. It also has an inner pocket.
The fabric used is "No. 9 canvas," which is no longer produced in Japan.
This rare fabric maintains high strength while also having a softness that conforms to your body and shoulders.
The gray weft yarn is "pre-dyed yarn." Most fabrics on the market are dyed after the fabric is made, which can make the fabric thinner than its original state.
However, in this case, the yarn is dyed before becoming fabric, allowing you to enjoy the original texture of the woven fabric as it is, and also resulting in a unique, deep color that cannot be achieved with regular canvas.
The design is by graphic designer Kenya Hara.
