Sporty CRAFSTO’s eco-conscious upcycled drawstring bags

CRAFSTO, a direct-to-consumer fashion brand, is making waves with its new series of drawstring bags. These versatile accessories, crafted from ECO leather derived from discarded clothing, leftover fabric, and production offcuts, have captured the attention of environmentally-conscious consumers.

Founded in 2020, with a workshop and store in Kuramae, Tokyo, CRAFSTO is a unisex fashion brand that prides itself on offering leather wallets, bags, and apparel that can be enjoyed by people of all genders. With an emphasis on sustainable production and “future-oriented manufacturing,” the brand focuses on conscientious material selection and processing, aiming to leave a positive impact on the world of fashion.

These drawstring bags not only boast a sleek design but also cater to users of all genders. With adjustable shoulder straps and the ability to lay flat when empty, they are the perfect accessory for outings, doubling as a sub-bag.

The secret behind these bags lies in the ECO leather material, which is transformed from waste products through an intricate process of decomposition and re-polymerization. This method eliminates impurities and irregular colors, resulting in a recycled leather that surpasses its predecessors in terms of dye stability and color vibrancy. The final product possesses a smooth touch and a subtle glossy finish that enhances its aesthetic appeal.

CRAFSTO’s bags are characterized by the harmonious blend of ECO leather and a sporty MIX drawstring cord, culminating in a sophisticated urban look. The juxtaposition of different materials amplifies their individual charm, creating an effortlessly chic and contemporary accessory. With a pleasant matte texture and an easily accessible drawstring opening, these bags are the must-have addition to this season’s wardrobe.
