Carrying eco

Kanazu Sen-i Corporation produces unique eco-bags, made of environmentally-friendly plant-based poly-lactic acid fabrics, with various shapes suitable for different lifestyles, and with clever designs for compact storage.

Eco-bags for business suits

With four different shapes and variations of color for diverse lifestyles, and smaller sizes convenient for light shopping on the way to and from work or school.

Bio-degradable + thin and strong

Bio-degradable corn-based poly-lactic acid fabrics decompose safely into the earth. Thread, care labels, tag labels and buttons are also made from natural materials, which are disposable as combustible garbage and generate no toxic gas when they are burnt. Kanazu Sen-i Corporation, with expertise in high-performance industrial weaving techniques, together with Fukui Prefecture Industrial Technology Center in a industry-academia-government collaboration, have succeeded in developing eco-bags which are thin and strong and return to the earth.

Storage + folding and crumpling

So easy and compact, they are no trouble to carry.
Just like crumpled paper or folded clothes, the bags easily and spontaneously become compact when they are not being used.
