New Era, who are known for their headwear series, started developing high-quality bags and apparel in recent years. They have now developed their very first randoseru backpack. 

A randoseru is a kind of firm and sturdy backpack often used by elementary school students. Its most appealing and distinctive features are the large smooth flap and slightly rounded corners. 

Randoseru: ¥75,000 (Before Tax)

This randoseru backpack was developed to hype up the daily lives of new students eagerly anticipating the start of the 2021 academic year.

Colour samples from New Era’s 59FIFTY® baseball cap visor sticker inspired the black and gold colour scheme. New Era’s logo designs can be seen all over the bag. It even comes with a cap clip for you to carry your headwear. The new randoseru bags are set for release in April 2020. 

This fashionable randoseru bag is full of beautiful details and is just what you need to start your next school year.

Yasuto Sasada is a Japanese artist equipped with a collection of super thin 0.3 coloured ball-point pens who creates imaginative and breathtaking pieces that combine elements of ancient beliefs and mythology. He is set to collaborate with Ground Y from January 11.

On their website, Ground Y describes themselves as proposing a new fashion concept – formed of both a genderless and ageless style – through synchronizing different aspects of Yohji Yamamoto. This is the brand’s fourth collaboration, on from their geisha series in 2014, girl series in 2015 and camouflage series in 2016.

The new theme Mikkyō or “esoteric Buddhism” was created by Yasuto Sasada who took inspiration from saṃsāra―the six realms of existence―and the bird deity Garuda. Filipino-Japanese actress Elaiza Ikeda and Japanese actor and model Sho Kiyohara feature in the collection’s promotional visuals. A promotional video was also posted across Ground Y’s official social media pages.

This collection is also available as part of the toy line BE@RBRICK in limited quantities. An exhibition entitled Y will also take place in Ginza with products based around the letter “Y” including the one in Yasuto Sasada’s name as well as Ground Y.
