Blooming Nakashin Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Hajime Nakashin), established in 1879 (Meiji 12), has launched a new design for the 'Pocket Plus' shoulder pochette from Kitamura, a bag brand founded in 1882 in Yokohama Motomachi. The new design is now available through the company's online shop 'Handkerchief Gallery' and at select department stores nationwide.

The new release features a tweed-style design with an elegant texture. While maintaining the convenience of compactly carrying daily essentials such as smartphones, mini wallets, and handkerchiefs, this new design adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

About 'Pocket Plus'

'Pocket Plus' is a convenient and easy-to-use pochette born from the concept of 'adding one more pocket to your everyday look.' It is ideal for walks, travel, shopping nearby, or moving around the office, making it a versatile companion for various occasions. Its ability to carry only the essentials lightens your load, earning it strong customer support as a long-selling item.

Kitamura's 'Pocket Plus' has sold over 34,000 units to date.

New Tweed-Style Design Launch

This new model features a shimmering tweed-style fabric that embodies Kitamura's signature 'gentleness, cuteness, and elegance.' Available in two classic colors—beige and black—it pairs well with both casual and dressy styles.

The refined material adds subtle elegance to the daily life of modern women. The embroidered 'K' logo serves as a stylish accent.

Function-Oriented Design for Ease of Use

Despite its compact appearance, the design emphasizes storage capacity and organization.

The main compartment includes an open pocket, while the exterior features a zippered pocket and a back pocket.

This allows users to separate and store smartphones, keys, IC cards, and more, reducing the hassle of searching inside a larger bag. The stress-free design ensures quick and easy access to essentials.

3-Way Use for Any Occasion

The adjustable strap allows for three different carrying styles: crossbody, shoulder, or waist pack, enabling versatile use depending on the situation. The D-rings on the body allow for easy attachment and removal of the strap.

Perfect for sightseeing during travel, events, outdoor activities, or moving around the office, this item combines the comfort of hands-free convenience with an elegant design.

The strap length is fully adjustable, and D-rings are attached to the main body.

Use it in 3 ways depending on the scene or purpose.
