Stepping out in the summer heat can leave you drenched in sweat, even if you’re empty-handed. Yet, no girl can go without her bag. Heavy bags are exhausting, while tiny ones can’t hold much. That’s why I always opt for Issey Miyake bags!
They’re high-end, lightweight, come in a variety of colors, and are water-resistant! It’s as if these bags were designed specifically for summer.
Fashion-savvy ladies are no strangers to the Issey Miyake brand. Its rise to international fame, however, is largely due to its founder, Mr. Issey Miyake himself.
As one of Japan’s most iconic designers, Issey Miyake studied at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in France at the age of 27. He also learned under the tutelage of Givenchy and Guy Laroche.
In 1970, he returned to Japan and established the Issey Miyake Studio to realize his “A Piece of Cloth” design concept. This led to the birth of Issey Miyake’s distinctive bags.
The unique design, composed of triangular units forming squares, resembles a chessboard when laid flat. This random aesthetic is one of the main reasons for its widespread popularity.
Even if you encounter someone with the same bag on the street, the shape will differ due to the contents, making your bag uniquely yours.
Many believe all Issey Miyake bags look similar, but this isn’t true. Issey Miyake has designed a wide variety of bag styles.
Bucket bags, crossbody bags, clutches… The color options include solid colors, gradients, and color blocks.
Today, I’m introducing five classic styles with multiple color options. Not only are they affordable, but they’re also guaranteed to be authentic. Issey Miyake fans, now is your chance to grab one!
Miyake
Six-grid tote bag
The most common Issey Miyake bag you’ll see on the streets is undoubtedly the six-grid tote bag, dubbed the “commuter king.”
Its enduring popularity is due to its incredible practicality. When empty, it’s just a “flat bag,” as thin as a sheet of paper, taking up virtually no space.
For business trips or travel, it serves as a perfect spare bag, easily tucked into your suitcase without worry of creasing.
When needed, it’s incredibly accommodating. A4 papers, 13-inch MacBooks – it handles them all with ease.
Which other bag can be as versatile as a sack? Only Issey Miyake, I’d say.
Sometimes, carrying a leather bag requires constant care. With an Issey Miyake, you don’t have to worry. It’s wear-resistant, waterproof, and can withstand pressure. It’s a joy for those who are rough on their bags!
Today’s classic style comes in three timeless colors: black, white, and silver. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
Among these bags, the limited edition “tofu bag” is probably the most universally loved.
The other day, I carried this to the office, and several colleagues asked about it.
If you’re looking for a versatile, design-forward, lightweight crossbody bag that can hold a lot, you must check this out.
The bag has a wide, tofu-like shape that can accommodate thicker items without distorting its overall shape.
It’s neither too big nor too small, suitable for both commuting and traveling.
The obsidian black, lilac purple, and metallic copper colors are all very easy to match.
The crossbody length hits just at the waist, enhancing the overall waistline proportion. It suits both tall and petite figures!
It’s both stylish and functional – that’s the essence of this bag.
For those looking for a lightweight large bag, don’t miss this beach tote bag!
Unlike other Issey Miyake bags, it’s composed of smaller triangles, making it larger and more spacious.
It can easily fit a 15-inch laptop.
The shoulder strap is adjustable, allowing for hand-carry or shoulder wear.
There’s a zippered inner compartment for valuables, and the main opening has a magnetic clasp design, which is very thoughtful.
Because this bag is designed to be cool, it’s unisex and makes for a great couple’s bag.
It’s suitable for daily commutes, long-distance travel, or as a mommy bag.
We’ve brought you five colors: lilac purple, milk white, khaki, gray, and black. Take your pick!
For those who don’t regularly carry laptops or documents, I highly recommend this mini-sized small square box.
This size closely resembles a small box, compact yet refined and dynamic.
And it’s not at all the useless tiny bag some might expect, but rather small and practical.
Besides essential items like your phone, it can also fit some powder compacts and lipsticks – enough for daily outings.
It’s known for its durability. It’s one of my favorite bags of the year. My own, after about a year of use, still looks almost new, with its luster and quality still intact.
This time, we’ve chosen black, gray, green, pink, and white for you to match with your outfits.
Compared to the handbag, this crossbody bag is more compact, but its charm lies in the crossbody strap.
Worn crossbody at the waist when going out, it frees up your hands, making it even more convenient!
Moreover, it’s one of the few bags with a zipper. You can zip up small items in the bag, giving you a sense of security.
The bag’s opening and shoulder strap connection use an invisible design, always maintaining its optimal square shape.
The versatility of this multi-use bag is also evident in the adjustable shoulder strap of this small square box.
By stretching or shortening the strap, this small square box can be used as a shoulder bag, crossbody bag, or clutch. Buying one bag is like buying three, suitable for various occasions.
Light gray, black, silver, and dark green are all versatile colors that you can’t go wrong with. Whichever color you choose, you’ll be able to use the bag for a long time.
