It goes to and from all kinds of scenes,
Bags and clothes by Antrak.

UNTRACK" debuted this August under the theme of "urban outdoors. The brand offers a wide variety of bags as well as clothing based on the concept of "bags that can be worn. Both products are designed to seamlessly connect on- and off-duty situations, and are equipped with a number of excellent functions that are not apparent from their appearance alone. Here, we focus on representative pieces from the first collection. We asked Genta Narita, a bartender at "Bar Werk" in Harajuku, Tokyo, to serve as a model, and followed his daily life to learn more about the bags and clothes. The second half of the article features an interview with the director of "untrack.

Designed for people who don't carry bags.

While bags are the mainstay of your business, you also offer apparel, which is also a characteristic of "untrack," isn't it?

Raw book:We have been making only bags, but that alone limits what we can express. We thought we could convey our worldview in a more expressive way by developing our products together with clothing.

What kind of ideas do you incorporate into your clothes?

Raw book:Since this is clothing made by a bag shop, we have made it into a bag that can be worn. For example, this coat looks like an ordinary coat at first glance, but we added a special pocket on the inside of the garment to hold the essentials that you would have with you every day.

I see that each pocket has an icon printed on it.

Raw book:Phone, earphones, tablet, keys, wallet, passport. Of course, we wanted to leave the usage of this pocket to the user. There are people in the world who don't carry bags, so I designed it as a proposal for them. I think this is a very niche product (laughs).

Are you as particular about the fabrics as you are about the bags?

Raw book:. yes. The outerwear category uses Cordura yarn. The same Cordura is also used in the "outdoor" category in our bags, so we adopted it with such affinity in mind. It is a very user-friendly fabric that is resistant to friction, stretchable, and washable at home.

In addition to such outerwear, we also offer set-ups, shirts, and pants that can be used for business as well as casual occasions.

Raw book:Like the outerwear, this set-up also uses functional materials such as water repellency, stretch, and easy care.
