"Seamless World" -Motherhouse announces new bag "Sou" born from a single paper pattern

"Sou 2 Way Tote (Greenish Blue)" announced as the 2022 Spring / Summer collection

"Sou 2 Way Hand (greenish blue, beige, black from the left)"

Often a pattern for a bag made by combining multiple parts, Sou is made from a single piece of seamless paper. The origin of Sou's creation was "I think it's better to relax now than to focus", "I want to be very free inside in a world full of restrictions outside." It was the philosophy of designer Yamaguchi, who wanted to express the idea of "the world where everything is connected" in this era. With a childish mind, I came up with a new process and expression of manufacturing by repeating the process of freely unfolding and folding large pieces of paper.

With this method of making, it is possible to produce three-dimensional softness, and a unique design bag has been created that creates beautiful shadows before and after the gusset. To commemorate the release of Sou, designer Yamaguchi has released a special interview that tells the development story and the thoughts put into the bag. Please watch it.

"Sou 2 Way Tote" has a capacity to store a 13-inch PC, but has a shape that spreads from the front to the back to create a neat appearance. The exquisite difference created before and after makes the bag, which tends to look big, look smart, and the design is finished so that even small women can easily hold it. The light impression created by soft leather matches off-style. It can be used both on and off, and is close to the daily life of the person who owns it.

Tote that is perfect for working style

Perfect for holidays, the "Sou 2 Way Hand" has a minimal size, yet it can easily store a long wallet. The fluffy, rounded and cuteness is combined with the elegance of leather, which has a fine and sophisticated texture, to create an exquisitely balanced bag that is neither too sweet nor too stiff. By using the included shoulder strap, you can enjoy styling that matches the outfit of the day.

Hand that has both cuteness and high quality
