ProtoType8 seven squares ◇Pearl W15-KONJIKI, GINNEZU◇ Hishigatakoshi
🌟 Key Features (Points of Attention)
【Body Design】
- Material: Fortuna Pearl 15mm width
- Size: Designed with 12 squares wide (W) × 5 squares deep (D) × 7 squares high (H), pursuing a size easy for daily use.
- Design: Utilizing the glossy material, intricate patterns such as diamond lattice, harlequin check, and diagonal check (ichimatsu check) are meticulously rendered.
【Original Handle】
This is a special, original specification by "Handicrafts Store☆ALAUDAE".
- Weaving Technique: The "Edge Stitch" weaving method is adopted. This technique allowed us to achieve a unique, first-of-its-kind idea of adding a matching color edge stitch to the handle.
- Specifications: Total length of 60 cm, approximately 20–22 mm wide. Secured firmly with eight rivets, balancing both durability and design aesthetics.

A Challenge to Limits and the Quest for a New Weaving Method
- This prototype is not simply a bag shape, but the crystallization of a challenge to the limits of the material.
It began with the exploration of how far the maximum size of a bag with a "Diamond Lattice" pattern could be pushed, using a limited amount of material: "15mm width × 27m roll × 2 rolls (54m total)."
While aiming for the theoretical maximum size, "Prototype 8-9 Squares," we prioritized certainty and reliability in the pattern design to also secure material for the handle, ultimately shaping it as "Prototype 8-7 Squares."
Failure as Fuel for Original Technique
- Despite meticulous calculations for the pattern, an accident occurred during production: we noticed a length miscalculation in just 12 sections.
However, instead of letting this error become a simple loss, we utilized the remaining material from those sections to elevate the design into the centerpiece of this work: the original "Edge Stitch" woven handle. This was the moment a new technique was born by overcoming a challenge.
We believe this "Prototype 8-7 Squares" is likely the maximum possible dimension for weaving both the body and the handle with the 54m of material. Yet, this only marks my current personal limit; I believe that with further ingenuity, there are still more forms that can be created.
"Fortuna Weave"—A New Door Opens
- To confidently answer the natural question, "Can this truly be completed with this amount of material?"—and by publicly sharing this entire process of trial and error—this prototype has given us the motivation to launch a new content world: "Fortuna Weave."
