Ringo Gamaguchi Clasp Purse

Yutaro Kumagai Clasp Purse Accessory Friday, 9 October 2026

Ringo Gamaguchi

This product takes the shape of an apple because it is crafted from Ringo Tex, a synthetic leather derived from apple waste. Its dimensions are based on the size of a real small apple, emphasizing its origin. Its main feature is its slimness, not usually seen among clasp purses. This was achieved by adopting a sewing approach different from conventional purses, allowing the structure to remain thin. The intention was to create a product that can easily fit into bags or pockets, allowing coins and other small items to be carried smartly without adding much bulk.

Taste Connnection X

Taste Connection X is a multifunctional bag that can be used as a backpack, a messenger bag or an open luggage form. The bag is made of waterproof PVC printed with a pattern that blends popular bubble tea brand logos from Taiwan. Each piece is cut at random from a roll covered with colorful stripes, so no two bags share the same color composition. The shape is created by folding, without additional cuts, and an adjustable cotton strap with a custom print defines each mode. The design also works as a souvenir of Taipei street scenes.

Atsushi Morita Fashion Mask Accessory Tuesday, 6 October 2026

Origami Mask

Origami Mask is a face mask designed for special occasions such as weddings and ceremonies. The mask is made from a single sheet of Japanese washi paper, folded with the origami technique, without glue or stitching. Washi provides texture and breathability. Gold leaf decorates the folds, so the mask works as a formal accessory rather than a plain necessity. The mask is flat and compact when folded, and it forms a dome that creates space around the mouth when both ends are pulled. The folded mask fits inside invitations and can be stored in its package during meals.
