To establish a new standard for craftsmanship in a new era, the New Life Project, which will debut in the Spring/Summer 2021 season, will hold a pop-up promotion from April 21st (Wednesday) at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1F Leather Goods. The lineup will include a total of 18 items, including some that will be exclusively available at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , ranging from general bags such as tote bags and backpacks to gadget-type items that will appeal to men and market bags.

The ID case has a transparent pocket on the back, allowing you to store cards such as commuter passes. The neck pouch and sacoche are divided by two zippered pockets on the front for easy access. All bags also have a metal fitting that allows you to easily adjust the length of the rope.

Left: Shoulder bag ¥15,950 (45 x 48 x 3 cm), Right: Market bag ¥15,950 (43.5 x 37 x 4 cm)
The main material is 100% recycled polyester. Of that, 11% of the bag is made from recycled plastic bottles and other materials collected through beach cleanups. The other materials used in combination are also recycled nylon.
The New Life Project questions mass consumption, mass production, and mass disposal, and works with artisans to eliminate waste, inconsistency, and inefficiency, while preserving skills, creating new value, and producing environmentally conscious products. Their ultimate goal is a "circular economy," a system that recycles resources by viewing previously discarded products and raw materials as valuable assets, and they are starting with what they can do now.
This highly convenient bag, suitable for both casual and formal occasions, is meticulously designed with user-friendliness in mind. It primarily uses a blend of polyester yarn recycled from plastic bottles and Cordura nylon, making it resistant to dirt and water. Furthermore, the rope handles and length-adjusting hardware are made in collaboration with a local factory that doesn't normally manufacture bags, preserving the skills of the craftsmen.

This laptop case can accommodate laptops up to 15 inches and their accessories, and features an L-shaped zipper closure. The interior is lined with a highly cushioned double-raschel mesh material. It also has a convenient rope handle, allowing it to be used as a clutch bag.
Middle: Daypack ¥38,500 (44 x 30 x 17 cm)

Right: Wide tote bag ¥35,200 (35 x 41 x 19 cm)
This wide-sized tote bag has enough capacity for luggage for a 1-2 night trip and features rope handles long enough to be carried by hand or over the shoulder. The main compartment has a zipper closure, but even when the zipper is not used, the opening can be secured with a snap closure for added security.
During the event, customers who purchase New Life Project products will receive a free original mini pouch from the brand. (*)
We hope you'll take a look at the New Life Project, which embodies the producers' desire to "provide even a small opportunity for people to think about the environment through these bags."
