Art piece bag, i want!!

Bilbao Bag, from Pleats Please by Issey Miyake
The Bilbao bag is not just a functional, waterproof tote that is distinctively recognisable in your hands. Personally, I find this bag a beautiful piece of art.

Apart from its geometrical structures, made up of synthetic triangle panels on mesh, the Bilbao must have been created by a visionary genius.
Technically speaking, the Bilbao bag is not from Issey Miyake per se, but falls under Issey Miyake’s secondary label Pleats Please.

As its outer surface is made up of triangles, the Bilbao has an ability to be folded in and out. From a flattened, tote shape, the triangles may be manipulated by hand and folded into each other to produce a base at the bottom of the bag, creating a rectangular or square base so as to adapt to the items you are carrying.At the same time, the handles are adjustable to your preferred length.In a luxurious yet fast-moving fashion age as ours, it is absolutely delightful to encounter a bag like the Bilbao, which is easily customizable and so ingeniously created. Personally, what is an additional exciting feature of the bag is its waterproof exterior, extremely suitable for Asian weather, which allows me to enjoy it even more than a leather bag.

I humbly suggest that you check out the Bilbao if you have not, it is an absolute favourite of mine. Bilbao belongs to the accessories range of Issey Miyake, called BAO BAO. Available at Issey Miyake, within Hilton Shopping Gallery, find the Bilbao in a variety of sizes starting at S$330.
