Waterproof Douman Flap Mini Backpack SMIC018m

《Harmony of Fabric Presence, Douman, and Oil Leather》

Uses thick canvas woven on the west shore of Lake Biwa. A large amount of wax is impregnated and fixed into the gaps of the slightly loosely woven fabric made with high-strength threads.

Afterward, in Kojima, Okayama Prefecture, the home of denim processing, the fabric undergoes bio-washing (tumbling in a drum containing microorganisms that favor cotton, giving the fabric a wavy, silky texture and adding strength by shrinking 10%). This process makes the material resistant to losing its shape and accumulating dirt even after many years of use.

The thick oil leather, which is a match for the strong presence of the fabric, will develop a beautiful aged appearance with use, creating a design that can be cherished for a long time.

The use of leather on the flaps and straps is a design detail the designer is particular about.

《Mission as a Functional Material》

As it is waterproof canvas, even if it gets muddy, the dirt can be almost entirely removed by tapping or brushing it after it dries.

Furthermore, when wet, the threads absorb water and swell, preventing water penetration, and when dry, it becomes a functional canvas that allows air to pass through. Historically, it was used as tarpaulins for trucks carrying fruits and vegetables.

Despite being a rare material due to its high functionality and strength, original colors have been created, and it has become a representative material for Seagull Ship.
