SABI

A water-resistant material made of layers.

The material of the product is a discarded vinyl umbrella.

Materials of different materials, sizes, and thicknesses are manually sorted, disassembled, and washed to be recycled into fabrics.

By stacking multiple layers of this material and using PLASTICITY's unique press, an expression similar to rain flowing on transparent window glass appears. We call this expression “Glass rain”, which expresses the sight of a rainy day typical of “City”.

“Glass rain” is a material used on rainy days, so it is naturally resistant to rain and dirt. You can use it without worrying about how to use it, even on poor ground or on rainy days. Please enjoy the unique expression of each material that is created by pressing the vinyl umbrella in its original state.

A material that goes well with fashion.

A uniquely shaped tote bag created to make full use of the umbrella material. The handle allows you to carry it over your shoulder, making it stress-free for everyday use. This is a model that utilizes the unique feel of the vinyl umbrella's material. It features a distinctive design that evokes the history of discarded materials.
