the tote bag

A tote bag of universal design, striking in its extreme simplicity and silhouette.

A minimal leather piece stripped of all decorative elements such as metal fittings, designed to avoid a conventional luxury impression. Its structured form retains a subtle firmness while fitting naturally in the hand. The purified simplicity offers a genderless appeal and enduring charm.

Proudly made in Japan, each piece is carefully crafted by skilled artisans with precise sewing techniques.

The material is a high-quality, thick synthetic leather known for its exceptional toughness, with a smooth matte texture. It is also water-repellent, making it easy to care for without sacrificing a refined feel.

The handles are made from fluororubber — often used for watch straps — offering outstanding durability, a pleasant resilience in the hand, and none of the unpleasant smell typical of rubber. They are also long enough to carry the bag on your shoulder.

Large enough to hold A4 documents with room to spare, with two pockets inside. A base board is fitted to the gusset so the bag stands firmly on its own without losing its shape.

Pair it with casual styles for a modern edge, with a sleek dress for relaxed contrast, or add a refined accent to a sophisticated work look.

An item born from the essence of zero — simple enough to blend with anything, yet distinct enough to complete any style.

The material used in this product is a type of synthetic leather known as "artificial leather" — a special material developed to achieve a texture and durability even closer to genuine leather.
It is mainly used for sofas, car seats, wallets and school backpacks, and excels in products that demand strength, light weight and water resistance.

Many so-called leather goods actually have a polyurethane-treated surface. nimnil turned to artificial leather because it offers the same lifespan, strength and texture, while being lighter, easier to care for, and more ecological, as it generates little offcut waste in production.

The artificial leather chosen here recreates the fibers of real leather: ultra-fine nylon and polyester fibers are intertwined three-dimensionally to reproduce the collagen layer, forming a thick, smooth non-woven base that is then impregnated and coated with polyurethane.
By reproducing the inner fibers of leather, it delivers a texture and resilience even closer to the real thing.
