The SUBU x H.POTR moccasin 2Way tote bag is a collaborative design that merges footwear and bag functionality into a single system. The tote incorporates a removable padded moccasin, which functions both as a storage pouch and as a wearable indoor slipper when detached. The moccasin uses SUBU’s signature quilted construction, while the tote itself is produced by H.POTR with a structured nylon body designed for durability and daily use. This dual-purpose approach allows the bag to shift between utility and comfort depending on context.
The tote offers two carrying options through top handles and an adjustable shoulder strap, supporting flexible use throughout the day. Interior space is designed to accommodate daily essentials, with the moccasin component attaching securely inside when not in use. The collaboration reflects a shared focus on practical design, combining SUBU’s comfort-driven ethos with H.POTR’s bag-making expertise.
