NEWTON CITY RUCKSACK (No. 1018671) 77,000 yen (tax included) Color: BLACK, NAVY / Size: ONE

The "CITY RUCKSACK" uses Cordura nylon for the body, which is resistant to wear and tear, giving it a smart look and high durability. It features pockets throughout that can be used for a variety of purposes, and its compact size makes it comfortable for women and children to use, making it fit for city life.
For this collaboration, a hand-embroidered Heart in Yang patch is placed on the right pocket of the main body, using thread dyed with Japanese cypress, which is harvested in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture.

The handle of the bag is fitted with a Sakiori fabric handle cover made from recycled leftover fabric from "BLUE BLUE JAPAN", and can be attached and removed with snap fastener.
In addition, a small heart is embroidered on one side of the main zipper pull with the same Kuromoji dyed thread, and the triangular seat at the base of the shoulder harness is decorated with OKURA 's iconic heart-in-yang label. The inside pocket is adorned with the "ARIGATO" label, making this a special item with attention to detail.
