WIDE STRAP NEWSPAPER BAG
新聞配達員が大量の新聞を肩に掛けて運ぶために使ったニュースペーパーバッグを背景にしたバッグ。新聞社名や地域名を大きくプリントしたキャンバスバッグは、本来広告と運搬具を兼ねた街の仕事道具だった。
古着市場ではプリントの退色、汚れ、補修、ストラップの癖までが一点ごとの魅力として評価される。B幅広のストラップと大きな容量を活かし、“HONOR NEWSBOY”のグラフィックと褪せたグリーンによって、長年使い込まれた配達員の私物のように仕上げている。
ここから使い込むことによって更に表情が変化する様に仕上げた技術は、アメリカを愛するBOW WOWの真骨頂。
A bag featuring a newspaper bag—the kind used by newspaper delivery people to carry large stacks of papers slung over their shoulders—as its design motif. These canvas bags, featuring large prints of newspaper names and local area names, were originally tools of the trade in the city, serving both as advertisements and as carrying equipment.
In the vintage clothing market, everything from faded prints and stains to repairs and the unique character of the straps is valued as part of each bag’s individual charm. Taking full advantage of the wide B-width straps and generous capacity, the “HONOR NEWSBOY” graphic and faded green finish give the bag the look of a delivery person’s well-worn personal item.
The craftsmanship that ensures the bag’s appearance will evolve even further with use is the true hallmark of BOW WOW, a brand that loves America.
