KAPITAL unveils a selection of snufkin boro bags to its Spring/Summer 2020 collection as additional lightweight carrying designs. The brand constructs the bags from cotton and nylon materials to prepare for the rising temperatures. The first of the two bags is detailed with a transcription of soft boro textures, mending the patchwork together for a unique indigo visual that showcases conjoined cloths.
The brand uses century-old techniques of Japanese boro to create a nylon material for durability. It gives the bag a sporty aesthetic and lightweight functional feel. The colorway is green, brown, and black for an earthy palette done in a Japanese Ainu pattern. The bags are each complete with a zipper enclosed pocket and adjustable strap.
