LOT 004 NEWSBOY BAG IN BLACK COTTON

The original newsboy bag was found in California and was carried by newspaper delivery children in the 1930s. The wide shoulder handles and the wide gusset are the same as those of the time, but the length of the shoulder handles have been shortened and reconstructed to resemble a body bag. The shoulder handles are stitched at random intervals to express the rugged vintage style. The riveted detailing and sewing of old newsprint bags were also faithfully reproduced. Vintage washed canvas and iron parts are used.

T.T is a unisex brand based in New York and Kyoto. Taiga Takahashi, the founder and designer, underwent an education that merged Japanese culture with Western thought. The brand concept is "resurrecting relics of the past to unearth artifacts of the future". Believing that the true value of craftsmanship already exists in history, the fabrics, sewing and details of time-survived garments are researched from an archaeological perspective, reinterpreted in a new way and bring it back to life in the modern age. T.T. is a creative project that creates timeless garments that are inspired by the founder's collection of vintage apparel and created by Japanese artisans.
