＜jidai＞ Upcycle Fire Hose Shoulder Bag /White Green x B Leather

[Upcycle project in conjunction with Sakai City, Osaka] This series began with the Sakai City Fire Department asking if the hoses that had reached the end of their useful life and were scheduled to be discarded could be reborn.

"Fire hose × Genuine leather“

Fire hoses that have reached the end of their useful life still have a beautiful appearance. The hose is approximately 2 mm thick, with rubber material on the inside and a heat-resistant material on the outside. The durable fire hose would be the perfect material for a bag, as it would protect the items inside. The use of genuine leather for the combination material increases the value of the bag in terms of appearance and feel. The leather is also washable, so it is resistant to water. 

-An easy to use item that utilizes the width of the hose-

The most important point is that it is stylish and does not interfere with your outfit.

The coloring of the hose is utilized on both sides of the bag, and washable leather is used for the attachment. The uniqueness of the material is combined with the bag's solid construction and ease of use. The shoulder belt is size-adjustable with metal fittings. The interior is lined and has one open pocket for keys and other items, as well as many pockets for convenience.


*Please note that there are stains and scratches on the fabric due to the fire hose that was actually used in the field.
