Cafuné, a modern bag brand born in Hong Kong (Cafuné K.K., Representative: Day Lau), will sequentially release its 'Woven Collection,' highlighting the handiwork of artisans, from its Summer 2026 collection. The limited-quantity collection will be available on the official e-commerce site starting Thursday, May 28.

This collection is a series of luxurious leather mesh bags, painstakingly woven by skilled artisans who spend up to 23 hours to complete a single woven panel for one bag. It expresses the overwhelming sense of coolness, airiness, and artistry unique to hand-weaving, embodying the brand's belief that true luxury resides in dedication and patience.

Balancing formal elegance with a relaxed feel, the popular 'Egg Bucket' and 'Mini Egg Bucket' will be released first on the official e-commerce site starting Thursday, May 28. Furthermore, the new 'Small Hexa Tote' and 'Large Hexa Tote' will join the lineup from Thursday, June 11, offering exquisite items that gracefully accompany you from daily urban life to summer resorts.

Additionally, a limited-time 'Tokyo Summer Pop Up' featuring the 'Woven Collection' will be held at Shibuya Scramble Square starting Thursday, June 4. At the venue, the new 'Hexa Tote' series will be pre-sold exclusively ahead of the general release on Thursday, June 11. We will also welcome you with a range of sophisticated items that are trendy yet timeless, such as this season's popular east-west shapes.

**Cafuné's Woven Collection, imbued with exceptional craftsmanship**

**Transforming rigid leather into flowing 'fabric,' a unique 'creator's fingerprint'**

'Leather weaving,' the process of manually interlacing thin strips of leather one by one, is an ultimate technique impossible to mechanize, giving a fluid, almost liquid-like quality to a sturdy material. The handiwork of skilled artisans in India, who have passed down their techniques for generations, reflects a traditional craft preserved through time and exceptional skill. By using soft lambskin, a delicate leather mesh that beautifully complements even mini bags is achieved. The weave, which takes up to 23 hours to create for a single bag panel, carries slight variations and differences in knots, like a 'fingerprint' that proves its one-of-a-kind nature. The intricate pattern that changes expression in the light and the human warmth make you feel the artisan's 'soul' every time you hold it.

**Surprising lightness and uncompromising elegance**

Leather mesh, which is gaining global attention, is a true seasonless item that achieves both overwhelming lightness and a breezy look through its woven structure, while retaining the premium, substantial feel of leather. It adds a cool atmosphere to spring and summer outfits, which can often feel heavy with regular leather bags, and a stylish airiness to autumn and winter styles with thicker fabrics. As the demand for lighter styles extends due to recent climate changes, this is a new staple that maintains the refined elegance of leather and suits any occasion throughout the year.

**Two original weaving patterns reflecting the aesthetics of nature**

This collection features two weaving techniques inspired by the workings of nature. 'Vinea,' used in the 'Egg Bucket' series, is a pattern inspired by gracefully growing vines. It combines two types of leather straps to express the supple movement of organic intertwining growth. On the other hand, 'Nodes,' which adorns the 'Hexa Tote' series, is a custom pattern inspired by plant 'nodes.' The structural hand-woven texture and the half-hexagon silhouette merge to create a beauty that is both geometric and natural.

**New release online from 5/28**

'Egg Bucket' Black/Teak, both Woven
The highly popular 'Egg Bucket,' with its organic curves and iconic 'egg charm' creating a unique presence, is now available in a leather mesh model. The light filtering through the weave creates delicate, lace-like shadows on your attire, finishing it with an artistic look. While practical enough to hold a folding umbrella or a bottle, it is approximately 34% lighter than the regular Egg Bucket. The exceptional lightness unique to leather mesh provides a comfortable user experience for daily outings. The airy transparency of the woven material brings a cool, relaxed feel to your look, and the egg charm, shining in the sun, enhances the active seasonal mood. It's an exquisite piece that vibrantly updates a classic silhouette, perfect for everything from sophisticated city strolls to summer vacations. Available in two colors: timeless 'Black' and 'Teak,' which shows a deep, beautiful expression under the sunlight. As each piece is hand-made and produced in limited quantities, this is a very rare collection with limited availability this season.
Egg Bucket (Woven) ¥74,800 (incl. tax) each color

'Mini Egg Bucket' Black/Oat, both Woven
An elegant crossbody bag that sublimates the iconic 'Egg Bucket' into an adorable mini size. The more densely woven leather, tailored to the smaller form, is a testament to high-level craftsmanship. Its beautiful and luxurious design gracefully adorns special dress-up occasions like dinners and parties. It is approximately 27% lighter than the regular Mini Egg Bucket. Available in two colors: timeless 'Black' and 'Oat,' a neutral beige tone. It's an exquisite piece that adds sophisticated depth to any outfit, regardless of the season, radiating a presence just like jewelry.

It balances a relaxed feel with formal elegance, and its minimalist, logo-free appearance smartly accommodates a laptop. The simple design allows for easy customization, such as adding a favorite charm or wrapping a scarf around the handle. Achieving surprising lightness while retaining the substantial feel of leather, this piece is also scratch-resistant and perfect for an active daily life. The moderate transparency offers the convenience of 'finding what you need at a glance,' while the included detachable zippered pouch and snap button smartly protect your privacy.
