It's the season to change into light shirts and T-shirts.

"I want to go out with my hands free and with my belongings light." Summer is a liberating time when that feeling is most likely to occur.

We would like to introduce two types of bags from Munekawa that are perfect for this season.

In this blog, we will introduce the shoulder bag "Caddis" , which has been repeatedly improved in the workshop, and the "Leather & Cotton Sacoche" , an item exclusive to our direct stores.

If you're looking for a new bag to enjoy this summer, be sure to read on.

What kind of bags are Munekawa bags?

[Improved version] Shoulder bag "Caddis"

This classic shoulder bag is suitable for both work and play, combining the calm luster of Italian oil leather (Maremma cowhide) with the toughness of water-repellent canvas.

Caddis was born from a conversation between Munekawa staff members, who enjoy fly fishing as a hobby , about how it would be nice to have a nice fishing bag that could be used both in the city and when fishing .

Based on the motif of a traditional British fishing bag, this bag has been designed to be easy to use for both serious outdoor activities and everyday use.

The size is just right for everyday use, and the front pocket is deep but easy to access. The material and structure give you peace of mind even in sudden rain, and the staff who made it say, "I find myself reaching for it even on rainy days," making it a favorite item.

Leather and cotton sacoche

A leather cotton sacoche that is lightweight and comfortable.

A sacoche is a bag that you can carry around with you and only the essentials you need for a quick outing on your day off. It can be used all year round, but is especially useful in the summer when you wear lighter clothing.

Although sales on the online shop have ended, due to persistent popularity and inquiries, it is now available as an exclusive item in our directly managed stores .

The clean design can be used by people of all ages and genders, but the combination of leather and cotton twill gives it a subtle, calm feel without being too rough.

Storage capacity of two bags

The appeal of Caddis is that it brings together everything you need

It can store not only small items such as wallets, smartphones, and key cases, but also A4-sized files, laptops, water bottles, plastic bottles, and small folding umbrellas.

One of the features of Caddis is that it can store everything you need in one place, whether you are using it for work or for personal use.

A sacoche that supports "minimal and light"

The main advantage of a sacoche is its lightness and ease of use .

It is large enough to store not only your smartphone, wallet, and the bare necessities, but also paperback books and small towels.

Bring a book you've been reading to a local cafe, or use it as a secondary bag when sightseeing, going to a festival, or traveling.

Some customers have said, "On days when I don't have much luggage, this is all I need." This casual use is what makes the sacoche so appealing.

Comfortable material for summer

The main materials used for the Caddis are water-repellent canvas and vegetable-tanned Maremma leather, making it easy to handle even in sudden rain showers or during sweaty seasons.

Like Maremma, which is rich in oil, canvas is a material that ages beautifully. You can enjoy watching the texture become more familiar the more you use it.

Frequently asked questions

Q. I've heard that leather is easily damaged by sweat and sebum in the summer, but how should I care for Caddis and sacoche bags?
A. For leather, please care for it in the following order: gently wipe dry, then dry in the shade, then care for the leather. For canvas and cotton, gently wipe with a tightly wrung cloth. If it gets too wet, dry it slowly in a well-ventilated, shady area.

Q. Won't water-repellent canvas or cotton twill get stuffy even in midsummer?
A. Because it is a breathable natural material, it does not get stuffy like synthetic materials and is relatively comfortable to wear even in the summer. The more you use it, the softer it becomes and the better it feels against your skin.
