Mate Mono (mate-mono) is the product brand of Komatsu Matere, the textile dyeing and finishing company founded in Ishikawa, Japan, in 1943. Its idea is to waste as little material as possible: some bags are made from surplus or offcut industrial fabrics, others are knitted in one piece so nothing is cut away, and each design leans on the company’s own dyeing and finishing know-how.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t leave wet items in the bag for long, as color can transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow big is the Mate Mono Tile Bag?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout 9″ square and 2.3″ deep, with an 11.4″ handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much can the Tile Bag hold?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp to about 3 kg (6.6 lb) — plenty for a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses and a small pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Tile Bag made of?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e50% polyester and 50% nylon, knitted from Komatsu Matere’s proprietary yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does the Tile Bag get its texture?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe knit shrinks during dyeing, condensing the fibers into the raised tile pattern and soft surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich Tile Bag color suits everyday outfits?
