A Workshop to Experience enamel.'s Creations Firsthand
One of the novel approaches enamel. took with "kiss enamels." was the development of original fabric. They fused soft, delicate lace with aluminum to create a crisp, self-supporting material. The fabric is also functional, being resistant to moisture and, thanks to the aluminum, offering cooling properties.
Faced with this newly created fabric, enamel. designers Ryoji and Sayuri Ishioka were reminded of "Kiss Chocolates" – small, pointed chocolates made by dropping molten chocolate onto a cooled iron plate. This inspired them to adopt "Kiss Chocolates" as the collection's theme, and they subsequently refined the designs.
The bags are the centerpiece of the "kiss enamels." collection, their texture and form evoking the wrappers of "Kiss Chocolates." Yet, they function perfectly as bags, showcasing how a playful spirit has been exquisitely integrated into the products.
All bags are available in four sizes: S, M, L, and LL, with a range of surface textures from simple to elaborate. We recommend choosing one that suits your occasion.
On Saturday, September 10th, and Sunday, September 11th, a workshop will be held at "Tas Yard" in Sendagaya, Tokyo, where participants can create wallets using the "kiss enamels." fabric. We encourage you to experience enamel.'s creative process firsthand by crafting something with your own hands.
