Lightweight and durable knit tote

TRICOTE creates items that make people's hearts jump with excitement.

TRICOTE, with its bright and cheerful taste, asked us to create the STONE series from an original pattern. This pattern was created by combining the concepts of both TRICOTE, which often uses nature as a motif, and ZUTTO, which introduces items that deepen their appeal over time as they are used and cherished. The result is a light and fun pattern that will make you feel better every time you use it.

The motif of a stone with its corners removed
The circle, a shape that symbolizes eternity that will last forever, is a shape that gives a sense of security to those who see it. ZUTTO is a select store that was started with the desire to "encounter things that can be used with lasting attachment" and "to share the joy of encountering them. The enduring meaning and sense of security of the circle shape fits well with this philosophy, which is why we decided to use a circle for this pattern.

TRICOTE is a brand that creates pop patterns, but in fact, they are often inspired by natural objects, landscapes, and phenomena. Therefore, we considered applying the meaning and shape of the circle to the natural world, and chose stones as our motif. Stones come in a variety of shapes, but the shape of a stone that is rubbed by nature and gradually becomes rounded corresponds to the appearance of a stone that is used for a long time while enjoying the changes over time, which ZUTTO values. Thus, rounded stones that have been softly transformed by nature are layered and incorporated into the design.

Feels like an adult pop-up

The features of this knit tote bag are not only its cute appearance, but also the fact that it is lightweight and easy to use. What many people imagine when they hear the word "knit" is a fluffy, fuzzy feel, but this bouncy fabric is actually also a knit fabric. By knitting bright polyester yarn and transparent special yarn at the same time, strength, bounce, and luster are created in the fabric, resulting in a knit fabric that is light yet firm.

When you open the bag, you will find a large inner pocket with a logo. This is also made of a special knit fabric, and the specifications are also functional, with pocket parts attached to prevent luggage from popping out. The bag is sturdier than it looks, has a lot of storage capacity, and the knit fabric's unique texture makes it hard to show its shape on the surface even if you put a lot of stuff in it, making it a bag that can be used on a daily basis without any hesitation.

Even if you usually wear a monochromatic color scheme, this knit tote bag will give you a glamorous look at once. The bag can also be used as an eco-friendly bag, which makes it a great gift for birthdays and Mother's Day.

The special order STONE is also available in other items. We recommend using them as a set. Pouch> Maternity Notebook Case (Multi Pouch)>>

A lifestyle brand that colors even people's hearts
TRICOTE is a lifestyle brand that imagines an imaginary room and proposes items that add color to daily life. Originally, the representative, Mr. Uotani, was involved in the development of knit fabrics such as socks, but his desire to incorporate knit fabrics into daily life grew, and he decided to further research knitting techniques and designs. He then decided to further research knitting techniques and designs, and his desire to develop his own original products grew, leading him to start this brand.

TRICOTE proposes colorful items that make daily life more enjoyable by incorporating the possibilities of a single thread into textiles. TRICOTE produces a variety of knit items with a texture that cannot be achieved with newer machines, and by carefully using rare and scarce looms that have been in use for the past 40 years. Using knitting machines that match each item, the company produces a wide range of items, including stoles, socks, wear, bags, hats, and miscellaneous items that add color to daily life. For example, the stoles produced by TRICOTE are made on a Jacquard machine manufactured by Bentley in England, which has been in use for 40 years. The loom can only read paper data, but in order to bring out the texture that only an old loom can produce, the machine was modified to be able to read digital data. Or, original strings are made using a machine called a cross set lace machine, which is used to make tape and fringe, or a modern knitting machine is daringly employed to knit gloves in order to achieve a good balance of shape and pattern.... In this way, textiles can be created in an infinite number of ways by combining different types of yarns and knitting techniques, and the unique craftsmanship that results from the crossover of technology and design is a distinctive feature of the company.
