ITEM INFORMATION
An updated model of the Ark series called "Ark Check." While maintaining the voluminous silhouette that characterizes the series, it adopts a cotton tweed typical of autumn and winter as the main fabric. Suitable for everyday use, and with its compact nature, this is a highly versatile series that works for outdoor activities and travel as well.
The fabric is characterized by a deep, nuanced color created by twisted "three-tone" yarns made from three different colored threads, combined with a soft texture from light brushing. The back is coated with PVC, providing durability and water resistance.
The shoulder section features a 5mm thick high-foam polyethylene foam core that reduces shoulder strain. The double-ring specification accommodates both right- and left-handed users. The side pocket with a cord stopper is ideal for bottle storage, and the cord end includes a carabiner for attaching keys or IC cards.
Product Description
The main fabric uses "three-tone" yarn, created by twisting together three different colored 20-count yarns into a single strand. This creates a cotton twill fabric with a sophisticated, wool-like quality, expressing a deep and layered color. A light brushing treatment is applied to the surface, giving it a medium weight, soft texture and a warm appearance. Additionally, a 0.75mm thick PVC coating on the back provides the fabric with durability, firmness, and water resistance.
The included leather is chrome leather from "MONFRINI PELLAMI S.R.L.," an established Italian tannery based in Milan, founded in 1898. After chrome tanning, it undergoes a semi-aniline finish where vivid pigments and transparent dyes are applied using a roller coaster machine, achieving a vibrant and refined color. Despite being a plain smooth leather, it features a beautiful surface with a subtle sheen. It is a high-quality material that reflects the leather craftsmanship characteristic of fashion-conscious Europe.
In terms of functionality, a 5mm thick high-foam polyethylene foam core is embedded in the shoulder section on one side, providing expected relief from shoulder strain. Additionally, double rings are used as fasteners, and the front and back torso share a common design, making it comfortable to use regardless of handedness.
The side pocket allows for size adjustment of the opening through a cord stopper, making it suitable for bottle storage. The cord end features a carabiner, enabling attachment of keys or IC cards. The main storage zipper uses METALUXE® Tough, which combines the distinctive brilliance of YKK metal zippers with the lightness of resin.
A casual series that features the voluminous silhouette characteristic of the Ark series, with a soft cotton tweed featuring light brushing as the main fabric.
