Keep it long, treasure it long.

Mountain fold, valley fold

TRICOTE deals with items with such a bright taste that the heart of the person who owns it bounces with excitement. It is true that "things" color space and clothing, but it is also a truth that it colors people's hearts.
Introducing one of the AIR KNIT series, which is also a standard material of TRICOTE, a pleated bag with an impressive color scheme and silhouette. The material, knitted fabric, and wooden beads used for the handle are the items that you can feel the attention to detail.

Pursuing the possibilities of knitting　

It is a pleated bag with a mountain fold valley fold structure like origami, but in fact this knitted fabric was born after trial and error. Through repeated trial knitting with various materials and various structures, the most suitable material and structure were found. There is an image that knits are difficult to handle because they stretch when washed and you need to be careful not to get them caught, but TRICOTE products do not have to worry about that. The tightly packed, solid fabric is durable and less likely to get caught. Furthermore, it is a highly functional "knit" that has been treated with water repellent for easy care.

It looks compact and has plenty of gusset, so you can easily carry it in your wallet or pouch. It feels smooth to the touch, and I'm happy that it has a texture that can be used regardless of the season. In addition, it is hard to stretch even if you put heavy things in it, so it is a bag that you can use habitually for a long time, which can keep a beautiful shape even if you use it a lot.

The color scheme and silhouette are eye-catching, but they fit nicely into your everyday outfit. It's a bag that fulfills your favorite color scheme, but you'll want to add some play to it once in a while. TRICOTE's pleated bag is a simple and coordinated accent, and I would like to recommend it as a birthday gift, Mother's Day gift, or Christmas gift for fashion lovers. In addition, it is bicolor and has a strong presence, so it is nice to match it with the one-piece style or kimono of the day you dressed up.

A lifestyle brand that colors people's hearts　

TRICOTE is a lifestyle brand that imagines a fictitious room and proposes items that color your life. Originally, Mr. Uotani, who is the representative, was involved in the development of knit fabrics such as socks, but from that, the desire to "incorporate knit fabrics into our lives" grew, and we developed the technical capabilities and design of knitted fabrics. To study further. And the desire to develop it as an original increased, and he started this brand.

TRICOTE proposes colorful items that make everyday life more enjoyable by incorporating the possibilities of expanding from a single thread into textiles. We cherish the texture that cannot be achieved by new machines and the scarce loom that remains, and we are particular about the technology unique to looms that have been used for 40 years to produce various knit items. Using a knit knitting machine that matches the item, there are a wide variety of items to be sent, such as stalls, socks, wear, bags, hats, and miscellaneous items that color your life. For example, TRICOTE's jacquard machine manufactured by Bentley Motors Limited in the United Kingdom, which has been used for 40 years, is used to manufacture stalls. Although it is a weaving machine that can only read paper data, in order to take advantage of the texture that can only be produced with a vintage weaving machine, we have created original fabrics that cannot be used with new machines, such as by modifying it so that it can read digital data. I feel the commitment to knitting. Alternatively, you can make an original string using a machine called a crosset race machine that makes tapes and fringes, or use a modern knitting machine to knit gloves to improve the balance between shape and pattern. .. In this way, textiles can be expanded infinitely by combining the types of threads and knitting, which is a characteristic of unique manufacturing created by combining technology and design.
