The SP Bag series has a simple and functional design.

There is no single design that is expressed by the individual differences of the fabric and the contingency of hand painting.
Reversible
The bag is also reversible, we use our
REKROW material also on the inside with a
large functional inner pocket made from artificial suede, adding a subtle
design accent.
”Okonomiyaki” painting
The multi-layer paintings on the bags are an homage to the traditional colors
found in Okonomiyaki - Hiroshima's local soul food. The cabbage, Okonomiyaki
sauce, and pickled ginger.
Okonomiyaki camouflage.
We carefully unpick each workwear garment, turn it
into patchwork fabric and repurpose the fabric to make our ST Bags. The bags
are produced in Fukuyama's textile manufacturing area for entire processes.
The workwear born in this town, will be used and worn by the people
manufacturing in this town and returning home again. Through these products,
our REKROW vision is to create circular manufacturing in this area and create
a positive effect and impact.

REKROW “h” Product
The "h" represents the "hour" and the “human”.
For the countless “hours” it takes the “human” to collect, assort, unravel and
unpick the workwear, then resew and transform it into our new product by hand.
REKROW will build and preserve a Circular Manufacturing platform that will
pass on this region's skills and know-how for the future by imparting the
manufacturing story of WORKER.
The Material
The No.1 material used for the REKROW garment originates from denim workwear
garments that have been worn for a year in the shipyards of Setouchi. The
fabric is originally from “Kaihara denim”, a local world-class Japanese
quality denim mill. The materials used reflect the works of welders, riveters,
and painters, and no two are alike. We carefully unpick each and every garment
and repurpose them. Fading, discoloration, stains, broken threads, and holes
are created naturally. All materials are unique. We dare to care to highlight
their hard work.
The Unraveling
We collect all the workwear and then begin manually unpicking and unraveling
each by hand, step by step. A single jacket can be divided into 25 parts, a
pair of pants has over 20 parts.
The “unraveling” process can take up to five times longer than the “sewing”
process.
The “unraveling” process reveals a new shade and contrast that was previously
hidden and changed over time.
With each step of the “Unraveling” process, you can feel the value created by
time.
Each unique piece of the garment has been combined individuality one by one by
craftsmen. Good things take time.
The Product
All the workwear made, worn, and collected for the REKROW products is produced
in a small area of Fukuyama city. This area has many skilled manufacturing
factories that have continued for generations and can handle all areas from
fabric, sewing, processing, and finishing.
It is rare in Japan to discover one region where all the manufacturing can be
completed in a single area. Through cooperation and harmony in a small region,
such a platform is made perfect for our regeneration and circularity. Real
skills, true know-how.
REKROW products from Hiroshima are made with users' sensibilities in mind.
