During dyeing the knit shrinks, condensing the fibers into a dense, springy fabric with a raised tile pattern and a surface as soft as short peach fuzz. A distinctive handle completes the look. Because the bag is knitted to shape rather than cut, it wastes no material. It is about 9″ square and 2.3″ deep, holds up to about 3 kg (6.6 lb), and comes in four colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mate Mono by Komatsu Matere (Ishikawa, Japan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tile Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knit handbag with tile pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Lime Green, Navy, Brick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9″ square × 2.3″ deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.4″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% polyester, 50% nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 3 kg (6.6 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knitted from Komatsu Matere’s own yarn, shrunk during dyeing; no cutting waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem numbers (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e MM-Tileb-bk (Black), MM-Tileb-lg (Lime Green), MM-Tileb-nv (Navy), MM-Tileb-rg (Brick)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaised tile pattern created by the knitting and dyeing process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft, peach-fuzz touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitted to shape: no cutting waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds up to about 3 kg (6.6 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryday outings with a phone, wallet, sunglasses and a small pouch; a playful accent with simple outfits.

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?
