Collaboration products between artists and domestic and international bag brands will be exclusively at Isetan Shinjuku Store . Focusing on the theme of intuitively felt "comfort," and the unique value of personalization that has been on the rise in recent years, the event "ART of VISUAL," which proposes bags as canvases and "portable art," will be held from August 21st (Wed) to September 3rd (Tue) Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building B1F = Bags and Main Building B1F = Travel Bags.



The artist we've invited for this project is bag designer Tokihiko Ikushima. He was involved in the launch of BEAUDESSIN, a bag brand that has been around for over 40 years as a pioneer of factory brands, and led the brand as its director for many years. He became independent in 2017 and currently runs his own brand, BOHEME.

For this event, Mr. Ikushima collaborated with Limonta, a leading Italian fabric manufacturer with a long-standing relationship with him and whose clients include many renowned luxury brands. Photographs taken by Mr. Ikushima during his travels around the world—a lifelong project—were printed onto the shiny nylon material "Davis." These prints were then incorporated into popular models from various brands, including Boheme, Stefano Mano's "Clutch Shoulder," and Daniel&Bob "Clodoro."

Right: Daniel & Bob / Daniel & Bob 42,000 yen + tax (39 x 33 x 19 cm)
*Both items are available by pre-order and are expected to be delivered around early October.

Mr. Ikushima says, "The quality of a bag is determined by its material," and he hopes this will be an opportunity for people to rediscover the power of materials.
