Light, tough and water-resistant. CIE's new bag is the culmination of functionality.

Nowadays, it has become commonplace to incorporate outdoor brand items into one's styling and there are more and more opportunities to think about the functionality of clothing and shoes. Many people may want to value functionality not only in clothing, but also in bags.

We recommend the new GRID3 series from CIE, a Japanese bag brand that pursues light weight and functionality based on the idea that a bag is a tool.

The most distinctive feature of the GRID3 series is the use of CORDURA® POLYCARBONATE, an original material developed by INVISTA. Based on CORDURA® polyester oxide, which is resistant to friction and tearing, a polycarbonate finish is applied to the surface. This makes it not only durable, but also highly waterproof and water-repellent. The degradation speed due to hydrolysis is slow, so it can be used for a long time.

GRID3 SOFT TROLLEY ¥61,600

This trolley bag uses HINOMOTO casters, which are characterized by their quiet and smooth running. It is equipped with a bottle pocket on the side and plastic hooks for hanging shopping bags and other items. Three zippered pockets on the back of the lid and four zippered pockets on the inside sides are convenient for storing small items.

GRID3 DUFFLE BAG 29,700 yen

This military-like duffel bag is a 3-way bag that can be worn over the shoulder, diagonally across the body, or hand-held. 34 liters in capacity, yet it is lightweight at only 780 grams. Inside is a patch pocket and a PC pocket that can hold a 15-inch PC, making it perfect for one- or two-night trips or business trips.

GRID3 BOTTLE MINI SHOULDER BAG ¥9,900

Mini shoulder bag with a front pocket for bottles. It will be useful not only at festivals, but also as a sub-bag for travel. Small bags often have little gusset width and don't hold much stuff, but this one is deep enough to hold it all.

GRID3 SHOULDERBAG ¥14,300

Lastly, we introduce a bag that can be used in two ways, as a shoulder bag or a one-shoulder bag, by changing the harness. The left side of the side has a pocket for IC cards and other small items, and the right side has a bottle pocket. Some bags have bottle pockets on both sides, but they are actually used only on one side, so it is a nice feature to have storage for different purposes on the left and right sides.

Three colors are available: black with a charcoal matte texture, olive inspired by the sage green found in European military wear, and a less saturated gray navy inspired by the military navy of the Polish Army. The surface of each item is lined with high-density togi-weave nylon tape for hooking carabiners or small items.

Why don't you get a functional bag from "See" for your year-end and New Year's trips back home, travel, and daily life? Next January, we will be in Paris during the Fashion Week.exhibitionwill be held, so if the timing is right, please check it out.
