Made in Japan by Mate Mono.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shiny Shell Bag is part of Mate Mono’s Hikaru (“shine”) series. Its fabric was made as a blackout curtain, and the glossy face is the side that normally hangs hidden against the window. Komatsu Matere turned that surplus material into a drawstring bag: pull the cord and the shine gathers into drapes that look like a seashell. Small as it is, it holds a wallet, smartphone and cosmetics, and the long strap goes over the shoulder, across the body or into your hand.

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\u003eThe fabric can distort if strongly pulled.
