Formal Bag - Horsehair

Iwasa, a company known for handling a wide range of formal materials, places horsehair at the pinnacle of its offerings. This is due to the natural strength and elegant luster of horse tail hair, as well as the rarity of handmade production, which cannot be replicated by machines.

Compared to typical textiles, horsehair is resistant to heat and friction, making it a material known for its durability across generations. Each strand is carefully woven by hand on a loom over time, resulting in the beautiful horsehair fabric often referred to as the jewel of textiles.

Iwasas horsehair bags are crafted with meticulous attention to these unique qualities. The gusset, also made of horsehair, features a special structure that resists deformation even with repeated use. The edges of each component are piped, enhancing both the elegance and durability of the design.

These details require the high skills of master craftsmen and considerable time. The gentle scalloped design adds a feminine touch. The decorative hardware, which can be stored inside the bag, can be used in both celebratory and mourning occasions, depending on the setting.
