■2026SS Theme: "COLLECTOR

This season, we have created three patterns based on the theme of "collectors" who tend to collect their favorite things.

Fruits Hunter

This pattern depicts a lot of fruits and a lemur, Cockle Sifaka, who wants to keep his favorite food all to himself. The lemur's eyes are shining and entranced, and the colorful fruits are a key point.

Rosette Decoration

Rosettes represent the many honors and decorations. They are presented to beloved dogs who are very important to them. They are decorated with beautiful medals and displayed in the room.

Sticker MANIA

Whenever I travel and wherever I go, I come across a lot of stickers that I just can't resist collecting. Without being bound by genres or rules, they are fulfilled by simply putting up what they like. This sticker board represents "myself.

■New item to look out for: "Art that only you know and dwells inside".

This season's new series is a series that dares to keep the outside of the bag simple, and boldly arranges the designer's designs only on the "inside" of the bag.

Concept.

At first glance, the design is minimalistic, but the moment you open the bag, the vivid world of "COLLECTOR" jumps out at you. It is not a fashion item to be shown off to others, but a "personal art" to enhance the owner's own mood.

Materials and Quality

COLLECTOR pursues not only design but also functionality and durability as a bag by utilizing its solid production background cultivated through years of OEM business. The lining material was also carefully selected to ensure that the inner pattern looks its most beautiful.
