Enjoying shopping based on cost performance, especially online, is a lifestyle that suits today's world. Look forward to the Mitsukoshi Isetan Online Store, which will make this way of shopping a reality.

That brand, this item, you can find them all at the Mitsukoshi Isetan online store!

This time, three product staff members from Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building Fukaya, Harigae, and Hayashibara—have seriously selected items they "personally want!" and would like to use right away. We will introduce attractive items that you'll want to incorporate into your lifestyle.


"Mitsukoshi Isetan Online Store is constantly adding new products that are affordable, department store quality, and thoughtfully designed," says Fukaya, who was looking for a backpack for work. "The biggest appeal of online sites is that, especially now that we're spending more time at home, you don't have to go out to look for things. I personally find online shopping very convenient in terms of saving time," he recommends. Now, let's take a look at the items each of the three people selected!

Isetan employees' top picks for this autumn/winter's must-have bags & bags.

1. [ON STYLE | Fukaya] The theme is light and easy business. I found a functional backpack!

"Previously, I mainly used classic tote bags that matched dressy styles like suits, but since I started carrying a laptop, the amount of documents and other items I carry has gradually decreased, and the contents of my bag have also downsized, so I've started to think that a backpack style might be good too," says Fukaya.


Luxury brand backpacks are personally difficult to coordinate with my style, so I found a backpack from the Swiss outdoor brand MAMMUT that was suitable for my current needs, offering a good balance of price and brand value.



"A black backpack from a lifestyle brand looks natural in business settings, is more lightweight than a handbag, is functional, and looks stylish. I also like that it has smart storage, as I've been bringing my laptop home more often for remote work."

Fukaya says he has his own philosophy when it comes to small items like wallets. "Basically, I want to keep only my smartphone in my pockets," he says, "so a backpack that can hold a mini umbrella, a water bottle, and even a slim wallet would be very convenient. My criteria for choosing small items are 'thin, light, and not bulky,' so I'm pursuing an office style that allows me to travel light."

2. [One Mile | Hayashibara] For those who want time for their own punctuation while remote work continues.

"When I was able to travel more easily, I often heard people say they wanted a convenient pouch, and I chose a body bag from the California-based outdoor brand MEI because it perfectly fits my earphones, gadgets, key case, and electronic money that I take with me when I go out for a short break. I like compact and simple things," explains Hayashibara.



"When I'm working from home remotely, I often want an hour or two to myself, so I frequently go to a nearby cafe for a break or a change of pace. At times like that, simply switching bags can really change my mood. It's also perfect for when I go out for lunch nearby to switch between work and personal time. I also like that it's affordable and has a design that matches my fashion style."


She keeps an eco-bag in her body bag, explaining, "An eco-bag is essential for doing some work or reading on my smartphone at a cafe and then shopping at the supermarket on the way home. I had a hard time finding an eco-bag that suited my taste, but I found one on the Mitsukoshi Isetan online store and bought it with a click while I was at the cafe." She clearly enjoys her free time.

3. [Casual | Reupholstery] A wide-opening tote bag is perfect for going out with family!

"We can't really travel as a family, but if we're going to play in the park in our neighborhood, the LL Bean Board & Tote is a great help," says Harigae, who loves her family and chose the canvas tote, a staple for outings. It was originally created as a bag for carrying blocks of ice, so it has a reputation for being durable.



"When you're playing with your kids in the park from morning till evening, the temperature fluctuates wildly, so having a tote bag with a wide opening like this makes it easy to put in and take out jackets, scarves, hats, etc. Once you use it, you won't want to be without it."


Pulling out of the tote bag were ear cuffs, a winter item for keeping warm. "The forecast says it will get much colder from December this winter, so I want to keep these in my tote bag at all times," said the Harigae family, who usually prefer casual attire and love the outdoors even in winter.
