The large size is a 2WAY specification that can be used by anyone.
Designer Tetsuya Ando fuses minimalist design with Japan's traditional and latest technologies, transcending the boundaries of fashion to propose a lifestyle. The brand name "T.A.S (Tea. Ei. Esu)" is derived from the computer command "TEST AND SET," embodying the desire to create flawless products, much like the iterative nature of the command.
The new pleated leather bag, based on pig leather, achieves a texture akin to synthetic fibers through its pleating.
The large 2WAY bag, in particular, uses a whole piece of pigskin, creating a soft, rounded bottom.
It functions as both a handbag and a shoulder bag, offering 2WAY versatility.
This is a unisex item suitable for both men and women. In contrast, the small shoulder bag presents a more feminine aesthetic.
The pleated leather bag, with its considered sizing and the narrow leather strings used throughout, conveys a sophisticated impression. Discover your favorite color from the rich palette available.
