Inspired by America; made in Japan

The Midcentury Travel Bag is made from gorgeous Japanese denim, and it's cut to the measurements of an old Pan Am overnight bag. It's hard to overstate how luxurious it feels in your hands. Each detail is carefully considered — the handles, for example, are layered with soft twill on the inside, making them just the right weight and preventing them from stretching out.

Inside, you'll find a soft cotton lining and enough space for a couple days of clothing. Outer pockets with snaps offer easy access to small items, while the main compartment is secured by a large, double zipper, made of brass by YKK.

Measures approximately 50 x 30 x 16 cm (20" x 12" x 6") when fully packed. Flattens to nearly nothing when not in use, so you can slide it into a drawer until it's time for your next adventure.

About Sanyo Denim

Sanyo High-Cleaner Co. Ltd. is an Okayama-based denim processor, founded in 1968 and engaged in all kinds of denim activities. The company name references 'cleaning' because Sanyo's main business is washing denim to create different styles. In-house technicians at Sanyo take denim fabric from Japanese producers, then wash, distress, acid-treat, embroider, or sew it, depending on the client's specs.

In addition to their brisk business for other manufacturers, Sanyo Denim manufactures its own designs. Their classic bags and accessories are inspired by midcentury American style — but they're made to a standard of quality that's hard to find on any continent.
