HushTug Designer Nakajima

This time, we'd like to introduce the new sample for the Ladies Business Tote. This is an updated product that reflects feedback we received from customers. We will explain in detail how it has changed from the existing product, the background of its development, and its storage capabilities.

Background

Why the minor change?
Background of development

The existing business tote was made larger, mainly considering storage capacity. However, as customers used it, we received feedback from female customers.

Customer Voice

"When sitting on a train, if I put it on my lap, it sticks out over my knees."

"It might be a bit too big."

"I wish the fastener was a zipper."

Reflecting these customer voices, we decided to redesign it with updates.

Old Business Tote
Updates

3 Changes from the Previous Model

We improved the size, usability, and material.

Slimmer width
1 Size

Slimmed down width

We reduced the protruding gussets on both ends by 3.5cm each from the outside.

The size of the central "body" part remains unchanged, so the storage capacity is maintained.

📐 3.5cm cut from each end → total of approx. 7cm slimmer. Storage capacity remains the same.
Opening changed to zipper
2 Fastener

Opening changed from magnetic
to zipper

With the magnetic closure, there was often a gap at the side of the bag on the train, and many customers expressed concern about their belongings.

Point By changing to a zipper, the design now allows you to carry your belongings with peace of mind.
Leather material change
3 Material

Leather material changed to a softer one

We adopted the same slightly softer leather as the Smart Tote. Hard leather was prone to wrinkles, so we changed to a softer material.

Point By ingeniously inserting the core material, the firm shape is maintained. It is less prone to wrinkles and has a more feminine appearance.
Storage

About Storage

Even with a reduced width, the storage capacity is securely maintained.

Storage contents
💻Fits a 13-inch PC snugly
👜Also fits a large makeup pouch
🔌2 gadget cases/cord pouches
🧴Can also store a 500ml PET bottle
🔑Keys, wallet, eye drops in the zipper pocket
✏️Hand cream and pen case also fit

※The pocket specifications have not changed from the existing product, so usability remains the same.
