KAWAI

Experience commentator

Nice to meet you, I'm Kawai, a fabric staff member at Iwasa. Since joining the company, I've been working surrounded by Japan's finest textiles, such as Yonezawa and Hakata textiles. I want more people to know about the quality of Japanese textiles! I want them to feel closer to them! I hope I can convey this feeling to everyone, even just a little.

Q

Why order black formal wear?

!

In fact, each of the textiles used is distinctive and unique.

Do you think that all formal bags are similar?
In fact, each of the textiles used is distinctive and unique.
The high-quality textiles woven in the production areas of Hakata and Yonezawa are expressed on jacquard weaving machines.
In fact, each piece, including the formal patterns, has its own story!
As a fabric specialist And then an idea struck me.
------------------------------
It's not something you use every day, but it's something you use on special occasions,
Isn't it okay to express your individuality through your bag?
------------------------------
With this in mind, "Personal Online Order" is
This pattern order service is possible only because we are a manufacturer with 100% in-house production.
It was born from the desire to provide a new and enjoyable way to purchase formal bags.

Q

I started ordering this way because…

!

This is the overwhelmingly most popular product among customers, so it comes in a base shape!

  • It's a classic design that can be used for funerals, memorial services, and visiting the grave, so it's very useful and can be used anywhere.
  • I was amazed that the lid closed just by placing my hand on it!
  • It can hold a lot of things!

Iwasa is a specialist brand of formal bags and always has over 150 varieties in stock.
In the three years since sales began, we have received overwhelming support from customers and have consistently placed first in monthly web orders, so we have chosen this product as our base model!
The reasons for its popularity include its timeless classic design, reliable storage capacity, and easy-to-open inner magnet design.

!

This time, I, Kawai, would like to thoroughly explain how to make a "personal order"!

Chapter 01

Chapter 02

Make it your own unique piece!
Customize with embroidered initials

Because it is something you will treasure forever,
A special item just for you.

The main feature of this "personal order" is that you can have your initials embroidered on the gusset (side) part!!
The typeface is Diana, an elegant cursive English font with thin lines.
You can customize the bag to your liking by adding your own initials to make it uniquely your own.
A perfect gift for someone special, or as a keepsake for yourself.
How about some embroidery done with love?
Please feel free to use it if you are considering it.

Selecting

The embroidery is about 2cm in diameter, so it does not interfere with the design of the bag and serves as your own unique landmark, making it easy to recognize and secure.

And I'm Kawai's "K"!

I often carry my bag on my left hand, so I chose to put my initials on the "right gusset" part so that they would stand out when viewed from the front!

Q

How were we able to achieve this price?

Purchase Price

When you hear the word "order," you probably think it would be expensive, right?

This is because our craftsmen prepare the fabric, cut the pieces, make the parts, assemble them, and complete each item according to each customer's order.
However, with each process being carried out by a skilled craftsman with just one customer in mind, it is also a rewarding service, as we are able to deliver products of higher quality and made with care than usual. Iwasa's products are originally made entirely by hand by craftsmen, and this time we have carefully selected the patterns and fabrics, which has allowed us to achieve a price close to that of ready-made products!

!

You can choose the fabric and initials for each part and have them handcrafted one by one by highly skilled craftsmen, so it's rare to find a service like this, so be sure to give it a try!

Chapter 04

Finally, it's finished! The product is finished.

There is only one thing we are particular about here.
MY FORMALBAG

Done!

It was as perfect as I had imagined!

Since formal wear has a very simple design, I wanted to have some fun with fashion by adding a little pattern to my bag!
Since it is something that will be used for a long time, the cover is plain and the body is made of a Yonezawa-ori rose pattern so that it can be used by people of all ages, and is not too flashy.
It has been elegantly tailored.

Since it's such a special occasion, I'd like to wear formal attire to take it!

Formal wear 01 Formal wear 02

Recently, more and more people are opting for slightly larger bags rather than carrying a secondary bag.
The size of the bag I decided on for this personal order is about 18cm long x 26cm wide x 9cm deep, so it is the perfect size to hold all the things you need for formal occasions (handkerchiefs, long wallets, cloths, prayer beads cases, folding fans, etc.).

initial

My initial "K" is also embroidered on it!

I'm 157cm tall and I think I've created a bag that's just the right size for me!

What was good about making a personal order?

  • 01 You can place an order that satisfies your needs

    What was good about ordering personally was that I could make an order that I was satisfied with.
    A formal bag is a lifetime item, which is why you can choose each and every part yourself to create a perfect item.
