This is not a bag. Baobao new releases by Issey Miyake

These bags make a very special fashion statement. They do not look like the bag next door but you think twice before considering it elegant. For sure, it has nothing to do with the classical shapes and materials. But fashion, like people, should dare to be different and so are these bags, very much inspired by some usual cotton bags very popular in Europe. Each part of the tile is fixed on a black net. The open end stays free, a message of freedom and nonchalance. It goes for the day or for the night, for the office, on the road or as a statement, with sport or elegant shoes or outfit. 
But besides the 3D special impressions of the tiles, the colours are bold. Metallic silver, brown, black or blue, various combinations of colours. The collection has both items for men and women, including bagpacks or caps. The prices vary around 1,000 EUR the piece. The line was launched in 2000, the platinum pouches being the latest products in the collection. 
Some of the bags can be folded further by the owner, creating new shapes. The brand had teamed up in the last year with various designers for creating interesting bags  ideas where the owner is not only a passive user but it is part of the fashion statement too.
