Making use of different materials

SHOPPER WITH SPINNAKER is a tote bag that is lightweight and comfortable to carry, with no unnecessary details. It is easy to use and goes well with both casual and elegant styles, and the paper material combines individuality and strength. It is a simple design, but the texture of the material is not just simple, giving it a playful feel that is unique to RELATIONS DE VOYAGES.

Although it is a medium-sized bag with no gusset, it is designed to hold essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, and paperback book. It has a simple design with no pockets on the inside or outside. The opening is made of a thin material like a leisure sheet, and it can be tightened like a drawstring bag, so you can take it anywhere with confidence without worrying about your belongings falling out.

The unique texture of tear-resistant paper

The biggest feature is the unique texture created by the special material. The main material is a fabric classified as paper made from cellulose fiber pulp. This material is not used for general apparel but for industrial products, and it is stronger than you would expect from paper, so you don't have to worry about it tearing easily. The surface has the texture of paper, but it is firm and hard, and gives off a somewhat rugged impression. Like washi paper, it becomes softer with use, and you can enjoy the process of the texture changing. The surface has natural wrinkles, and each one has a different look.

The handle is made of recycled cotton canvas, which is both easy to hold and durable. The SHOPPER WITH SPINNAKER tote bag, with its different materials of paper and cotton, will enhance your styling. This sturdy bag can withstand tough use, so feel free to use it as a sub-bag for outings or travel.

A brand that weaves travel stories

RELATIONS DE VOYAGES was born in 1995 in Saint-Malo, a port town in Brittany, France. The founders Pascale and Vincezo met on a small island in the Caribbean Sea and were fascinated by worn sailcloth, which prompted them to start making bags. In 2001, in search of higher quality leather manufacturing techniques and materials, they moved to Tuscany, Italy, and started the brand in earnest. They also exhibited at the Milan Triennale, and in addition to sailcloth, they were praised for their environmentally friendly material selection, including high-strength industrial paper and recycled metal fittings.

The brand name "RELATIONS DE VOYAGES" means "travel stories" in French. Each bag is engraved with the memory of a sail that once crossed the ocean, and each bag has a different look. Each carefully handmade bag tells a story in the hands of the person who uses it, and over the years, its texture develops and acquires a rich character.

While valuing sustainable manufacturing, these bags breathe new life into old materials, making them special items for anyone who cherishes travel and everyday life.
