A completely new collection that explores the possibilities of materials.

The first collection debuted at Christmas in 2013, and now the 10th collection, "EXPLORER COLLECTION," has finally arrived. As the name "EXPLORER" suggests, this new collection represents a refresh from past collections and a determination to embark on a new journey. It combines prints from the latest Marni collection with various masterpieces from Yoshida & Co., exploring the possibilities of materials.

The nylon oxford material used this time is widely available as a single-color, plain bag material, but its highly textured surface made it difficult to achieve high-precision printing. The success in expressing the intricate check pattern and MARNI 's signature vibrant colors on nylon oxford material is thanks to the craftsmanship of Japanese artisans, whose printing technology is among the highest in the world.

Furthermore, another material challenge involves coloring the colorless, transparent acrylic coating called "fray stopper" that Yoshida & Co. applies to the back of all its bag fabrics. By adding color to the acrylic, which has solidified the trust and reputation of "Yoshida & Co. bags being light and durable," and designing it to look like a lining, the collection is given an even lighter and more impactful impression.
