Time spent with your bag
Time spent with your bag
A bag is an important companion in our daily lives. We carry it on our shoulders, in our hands, and sometimes even place it on the floor. The more we use it, the more it changes. A new bag is firm and has a perfect shape, but it also feels unfamiliar. It is still a bit stiff and unfamiliar to our hands, so we will likely handle it with care when we first start using it.
However, as you use your bag in your daily life, it will learn the habits of its owner and change gracefully. The parts that are frequently touched will become softer, leather will gain a glossy finish, and fabric will naturally fade. The metal fittings will take on a worn-in texture, and the handles will gradually become more comfortable in your hand. These changes over time are proof that the bag has been around for a long time.
For example, a morning crammed into a commuter train, a rainy evening on a trip, a laughing trip home with a loved one -- such memories are engraved on a bag. Small scratches, wrinkles, and tarnished metal fittings also tell the story of the days spent with the owner.
Some people call this change "flavor." This is because the warmth and depth that a new bag does not have emerges as it is used. A bag is not just a tool, but a reflection of the user's daily life. The more you use it, the more personality it develops, and the more it shows its one-of-a-kind character.
Enjoy the changes in your bag over time with "Choosing a bag"
If you want to enjoy the changes that occur over time, it is important to choose the right material. Generally, bags tend to become softer and lose their luster the more they are used. Canvas bags change texture and have a casual appeal, but the corners tend to fray. By choosing a sturdy bag that can be used for a long time, you can enjoy the changes that occur over time.
K-iwami bags are resistant to friction and fading caused by UV rays, so you can enjoy the aging process for longer than with other bags.
A bag grows and gains character over time as it accompanies you in your daily life. Why not weave your own story with your favorite bag?
