We may say “Looks paper and uses as cloths.” The new material “Naoron” was basically developed as strong shoji paper. “Siwa” is a brand series of many sorts of products, like bags, hats, wallets and so on, made out of the new material.

You can freely use it just like a paper bag. For instance, you have some heavy items inside because it has loads inside up to 10kg and you take something wet into the bags like umbrellas without any fear of tearing as usual paper bags. Moreover, it stands alone and you are easier to put loads inside than normal reusable shopping bags which are flaccid and do not stand alone.



Fukazawa Naoto, an industrial designer from Yamanashi, has designed all Siwa products. “We asked him for an unexplored design and an untrodden concept, because we liked to a new brand of washi for our recent life” said Ohnao Co., Ltd. which has created Naoron and has produced Siwa.



Like this, we are apt to talk about the new material or its design when we speak of Siwa. Taking a use of the tote bag, you must simply and correctly know it is all purpose comfortable. That’s all good as a bag. Siwa’s tote bag is an evolutionary form of bags and always with the basics. We have to think higher of the important point and say it is all for your daily use.
