When it comes to classic bags from L.L.Bean, the “Boat & Tote” is the first thing that comes to mind, but the “Book Pack” is also a must-have.
For those who aren’t familiar with it, the “Book Pack” was introduced in 1982. It has long been a beloved staple among American school bags. I’m sure some Fuinam readers have carried one themselves, and its excellent craftsmanship and distinctive look have earned it a loyal following in Japan as well.
Now, as part of this classic collection, the Japan-exclusive “Vinylon/Cotton” series is being released.
While staying true to its timeless design, the collection features a fabric made from a blend of “Vinylon”—Japan’s first domestically produced synthetic fiber—and cotton. It combines the exceptional durability unique to “Vinylon” with the soft texture of cotton, and is said to develop a more appealing character the more it’s used, allowing you to enjoy how it ages over time.
Furthermore, thanks to its fluorine-free water-repellent finish, it can be used in a wide range of situations, from everyday life to outdoor activities.
The lineup includes our classic day packs and drawstring bags in small and large sizes.
