[HushTug] The second sample of the new tote bag is now complete!
Hello! I'm Nakajima, the designer of HushTug.
This time, we would like to introduce the second sample of our new tote bag , which has now been completed.
It has evolved significantly from the first sample, becoming a more practical and sophisticated design.

Major renewal! Main changes
①Handle design
The first big difference is the handle design .
In the first sample, the handle was attached from the top, just like a leather tote, but this time we changed it to a diamond-shaped handle that gives it the impression of a business bag .
Additionally, the handles are flattened to make it easier to carry on your shoulder .
② Size optimization
We also reviewed the overall size.
The height, width, and depth have been adjusted to a compact size, and it is designed to just fit a 13-inch PC .
3. First attempt at an opening and closing system
The opening has been changed from the belt-tightening design of the first sample to a zipper closure .
By making the zipper tape on both ends longer and extending the zipper to the outside, the bag opens wide, making it easy to see the contents and to load and unload luggage .
The length of this zipper tape will be adjusted in the future and it will be fastened with a hook.
In addition, a solid core material is placed in the bottom to ensure stability and allow the bag to stand on its own .
About the storage feel
The second sample of the new tote bag has been developed with a focus not only on design but also on storage space.
Here we will introduce how it feels to actually put luggage inside and the areas that we plan to improve .
A4 file storage
It was originally designed to fit A4 files, but because the opening becomes triangular when closed, it ended up just barely fitting them in .
For the next sample, we plan to adjust the dimensions and improve the size so that it can properly store A4 size documents .
PC storage
A 13-inch laptop fits perfectly.
However, one issue is that when the zipper is closed, there is a slight step on one side.
We will also adjust the height and improve the design so that you can store your PC without stress .
Stores in an internal pocket
There is a zippered pocket on the inside.
It is designed to store a mobile battery and smartphone , and can also easily fit a long wallet .
Pouches and plastic bottle storage
The pouches can be stored side by side , allowing you to carry them around in an organized manner.
Also, although the bag was designed to store plastic bottles vertically, once I put my luggage inside, the top narrowed and it became a bit cramped.
Therefore, horizontal storage is currently recommended .
In the future, we will improve the design to allow for more space for vertical storage .
Future developments
This is the second sample of a new tote bag that has been significantly improved from the first sample.
We are now in the final stages of making adjustments to enhance usability while still achieving a balance between design and storage capacity , and we are now planning to finally move forward with sales.
We will inform you of the release date and final specifications at a later date, so please look forward to it.
