The zippered business tote saifB has been reissued in a bigger size!

The zippered business tote saifB has been reissued in a larger size.

SaifB is a popular zippered tote bag that has been around since Kawanishi Kaban first began producing original products around 2019.

Last time, it was released in a slightly smaller medium size, but in response to customer feedback, it will be re-released in a larger size.

"X-reinforcement method" enhances self-supporting and strength

The saifB bag features a distinctive design with wide 38mm tape covering the left and right sides of the bag diagonally.

The tape, sewn from the center outwards, is not only beautiful as a design, but also has the function of strengthening the bag's stability and strength, thanks to a manufacturing method called "X-reinforcement."

The surface of the bag is taut and allows it to stand on its own, so it maintains its beautiful appearance even when filled with luggage.

The combination of the square shaped bag and the crossed tape is also a design inspired by the Kawanishi Bag logo.

The tape, which is also a design feature, is woven into a bag shape and closed in the center, a method that combines durability and beauty.

The closure in the center is the design point, giving a slimming impression.

By using smooth, durable tape, we have created a stylish tote that can be used not only with a business suit but also with a casual style.

Hanging storage with "daisy chain"

The "daisy chain" design, which is often found on outdoor backpacks, is featured on both sides of the bag. A daisy chain is a belt for hanging and storing outdoor equipment, and items are stored by passing a carabiner or string through the belt. Kawanishi Kaban offers a special leather tag instead of a carabiner. An outdoor motif has been elegantly incorporated into a bag for town use.

The history of the birth of saifB

The prototype for saifB is a large-capacity tote bag called saif, made from adult canvas.

Saif's business line, saifB, is a bag that takes the shape of the saif bag, which was developed for families with small children with the aim of being a bag that can be carried by both men and women, and customizes it for business use and makes it out of Cordura® ballistic nylon fabric.

[Outer fabric] What is Cordura® ballistic nylon fabric?

The CORDURA® fabric used by Kawanishi Kaban is a robust nylon fabric called CORDURA Ballistic, developed by INVISTA, a long-established leader in the nylon industry.
This fabric is lightweight, resistant to abrasion, tearing, and abrasion, and is so strong and reliable that it is even used in bulletproof vests.It is highly water-repellent and boasts high strength that allows it to withstand harsh environments.
Therefore, it is less likely to deteriorate over time, and is recommended for those who want to use it for a long time while keeping it looking nice.

Large capacity tote bag of about 20L

Aimed at businessmen who carry a lot of luggage such as documents, files, computers, and notebooks, this bag has a boxy form that makes it easy to put things in and take them out, and it stands upright, with a generous 16cm gusset giving it a large capacity.

The 20 liter size is a recommended business tote for those who only need to carry a light change of clothes, such as for overnight business trips or trips in spring and summer, or for those who will be carrying a lot of documents, booklets, pamphlets, etc.

Lining: Nylon 110 twill

The lining is made of 100% nylon 110 twill, which is highly elastic and durable. The back of the fabric is coated with acrylic, giving it a slightly water-repellent function. Even if you put a wet plastic bottle or umbrella inside the bag, it is difficult for water to seep through to the surface of the bag.

"Nylon 110 twill" is elastic, wrinkle-resistant, has a beautiful luster, and is just the right thickness for a luxurious feel.

The color is a moderately bright khaki gray, making the inside of the backpack bright and making it easier to find small items.

Zippered opening for security

The opening of the bag has a zipper with a pull-out cloth.

The handle allows you to maintain the bag's volume even when the zipper is closed.

By not attaching the extension fabric all the way to the edge, you can access the side pockets without opening the zipper.

The zipper is a subdued black metal zipper that blends well with the Cordura® ballistic nylon.

The zipper is longer than the bag, allowing the opening to open wide, making it easier to put things in and take them out.

Snaps at sides create a slim fit

Carry-on bags

There is a hole in the center of the back that can be passed through the carry bar of a suitcase. By passing it through the hole, you can place it stably on top of a carry bag.

Shoulder handle with Setouchi leather accents

The 29cm handles are slightly longer than those of a normal tote bag, so that it can be carried naturally over the shoulder even when wearing a coat or suit.

We added Setouchi leather to the center of the handle, where the most pressure is applied. Not only does it accentuate the design, it also increases the strength and prevents dirt.

The more you use Setouchi leather, the darker its color will become and the more flavorful it will become. Please enjoy the unique aging process that only leather can provide.

Beautiful and easy to use leather pull handle

The zipper puller is made of Setouchi leather, the same material as the handle.

It gives a more luxurious feel and makes it easier to grip.
