No.117 is a tool-bag that has been made ever since our company was established in 1905. Tool-bag No.17, the vertical version of No.117, came about in response to the requests of many customers for a simple and vertical tote bag, with production beginning in 2017.
Due to its simple design and user-friendliness, No.117 is our most popular vertical tote bag.

The main feature of this bag is the handle length. After much discussion with our staff and craftspeople and many trials and errors, the final product was realized with an ideal handle length that makes it easy to carry over the shoulder regardless of gender.

Even when men wear down jackets, the bags can be carried over the shoulder without problem.

Regardless of the thickness of your outer wear, the bag can be easily carried over the shoulder. This sentence is the same as the above in meaning.

 

Furthermore, it does not drag on the ground when women hold it by the handles.

 

Despite its simple design, it has both an outer and inner pocket so that valuables can be stored without danger of them becoming lost inside the bag.

 

The outer pocket is ideal for items that need to be taken out or put away quickly such as a smartphone, handkerchief, and IC card.

 

Meanwhile the inner zippered pocket is best for valuables such as keys and wallets.

 

The gusset is 9cm and given its simple design, does not look overly casual even when paired with a suit. Additionally, it is deep enough to hold A4 size documents. A bonus point is the bag’s depth which makes it difficult to see what is inside the bag or the nature of the documents, thus ensuring privacy.
It's the perfect size, not too big or too small in comparison with your body while the thick canvas enables it to maintain its shape even after years of use.

 

 

 

The bag comes in seven colors.

 

From the left： Blue-gray, Black, and Gray – monotones that go well with business styles.

 

From the left： Japanese-red, Off-white, Navy and Light-brown bags
adapt well to your private lifestyle and comes with thick, straight stitches as accent.

 

 

 

Services such as adding buttons and eyelets to your bag is available at our shop at cost. This service is available for mail order customers too.

No.117 is an ideal all-round bag that can be taken to work or on weekend getaways. Just sling it over your shoulder and you are ready to go!
Please enjoy the process of your bag becoming one with your body along with the years of use.
