Exclusive Collaboration: "BRIEFING" - Limited to 55 Pieces!


The Long-Awaited Openers Bespoke Order
The BRIEFING ARMOR TOTE is Finally Complete!

[Coyote Brown] Limited to 55 Pieces!






Coyote Brown, a First for BRIEFING, is Strikingly Fresh!



BRIEFING is a bag brand crafted in factories adhering to U.S. military specifications. Renowned for its excellent design that seamlessly transitions between professional and casual use while incorporating genuine military-grade functionality, it's a highly popular brand.

For this occasion, Openers has adapted the construction of the INSERT BAG for the SHOOTING SYSTEM from the PRO-use SHOOTERS BAG,the "ARMOR TOTE",and created a bespoke version in a color new to BRIEFING,Coyote Brown.This special model will be sold in a limited quantity ofjust 55 units.

The bespoke "ARMOR TOTE" features a main construction that, unlike traditional bags assembled from multiple cut pieces, minimizes stitching by utilizing a single piece of fabric for enhanced durability.
The material is also MIL SPEC-compliant with a coating that increases strength beyond that of standard 1000-denier Cordura nylon, making it a truly exceptional tote bag that embodies BRIEFING's signature quality.



An Encounter That Gives You Goosebumps



I first encountered BRIEFING when I was still working at "Mono Magazine."
At that time, "Mono Magazine" was also searching for a bag that would be suitable for both business and casual use.
Mr. Nakagawa, the Vice President of Cellts, with whom I had a prior business relationship, showed me a bag he had developed and asked for my opinion. I felt goosebumps the moment I saw it.

This bag, made in America at a military-spec factory, excelled in its craftsmanship, design, and functionality. Every component, from the stitching to the molding, was impeccably executed. Furthermore, designer Mr. Kozure's ability to imbue it with the authentic feel of military specifications while maintaining a clean, sophisticated aesthetic, combined with its exceptional usability, makes it a potential masterpiece for the 21st century.

That's likely why major department stores and select shops rushed to stock it.
I've been using several BRIEFING items for years since the brand's launch. They hardly ever break, the fabric holds its shape with minimal stretching, and the fit when worn is incredibly comfortable. The wide variety of options also means I can comfortably carry one that suits any style. Additionally, their reliable after-sales service, including repairs, is a significant draw.

The Presence of an Indispensable Supporting Actor



Last December, on the day "rumors" opened, I decided to buy something to commemorate the occasion and chose BRIEFING's EASY TOTE (model number: BRF00158).
I had always used a Mac (only desktops, at that), and this was the perfect size to carry the Windows laptop I had just bought for my work at Openers.
I still carry it with the laptop and AC adapter, plus a mouse, and the internal and external pockets prove highly functional for receiving CD-Rs at meetings or for keeping my RHODIA notepad and pens for interviews readily accessible.
My initial impression was, "Wow, a lot of pockets," but after using it, I was truly impressed by its diverse utility.
I believe that "a bag's size dictates the amount of luggage it accumulates," so BRIEFING's durable, multi-pocket design makes it the perfect work companion.
