The "Mouth Bags" have been overwhelmingly popular among the "CROSS BOTTLE" series, with a total of more than 10 million units sold. For the renewal, the recycled PET bottle "REPREVE®" from Unifi® was adopted as the material.

The gold zipper in a chic color scheme gives the bag a sophisticated look.
The pulls are made of eco-suede.
Interior also features a padded case, convenient for storing PCs and tablets.
