Neige series
Neige is a French word which means snow. This bag is created by an inspiration we got from one woman's story in Minamisanriku. When the earthquake was happened , she had gone to a far place from Minamisanriku for her business. She had struggled to return her home town, Minamisanriku, with anxious of her child's safe by help of Japanese Self Defence Force. After some days , she could return and fortunately meet her child who was in an public escape place. When she asked with holding daughter tight " Did you be scared ?" , what daughter said first was , " Mom, Stars in the night sky were very beautiful last night ". It is because the night in TOHOKU area was mid-black due to the loss of electric power. This bag white color is imaged the stars in that night.
