N700A Tokaido Shinkansen Shoulder Bag

It's hard to believe because of their (still) very futuristic shape and the continuous renovations and upgrades, but the Shinkansen, the very fast trains known in the West as bullet trains, have been around for 60 years: they were introduced when Japan hosted its first Olympics back in 1964, which means that for any Japanese under the age of 60, they've been around forever! The N700A Tokaido Shinkansen Shoulder Bag is a very special tribute to these very special trains, particularly the Tokaido trains that run from Tokyo to Kyoto.

What makes the N700A Tokaido Shinkansen Shoulder Bag so special? The fact that it's decorated with upcycled fabric from actual Tokaido Shinkansen seats! Beautifully turned into a back outer pocket and a decorative strip on the bag's front, this fabric is exactly what you will see (and sit on) when you ride the real trains connecting Japan's modern and historical capitals. And beyond the special moquette fabric, the bag comes at a very convenient 24 x 17 x 6 cm (9.4 x 6.7 x 2.4") size with a capacity of 2.2 liters to fit pretty much all your everyday essentials!
