The size of the Wide Mix Pearl Prototype One, approximately 37x29 cm, is the first to be knitted with Fortuna Pearl. We wanted to see mixed finishes other than 15 mm widths, and we were conscious that the colour combinations would not clash with the colours of the other prototypes. The shape looks good, but the colour combination is said to be subtle. Colours are difficult to combine because people perceive them differently. At the end of the production process, one of the lengths was not long enough, and I thought about completing it by splicing, but I realised that it is no good to start halfway, so I removed the short material and added a new one.
The handles (grip) are made of INAZUMA's synthetic leather YAK-5502. The khaki colour was chosen because the overall image looks more suitable with a similar colour of 'USUAO' as a handle. The inner lining is made from peeled off rounded synthetic leather, which was a fashionable point, and is finished with one ø12 double-sided caulk and two ø9 double-sided caulks, instead of using the pre-applied foot-fold fittings.
However, it is very disappointing to see the markings of the needle hole-sized hole, which is visible and hidden by the handle, due to the wrong handle position. Wide Mix Pearl Prototype One, which still has room for other improvements.
We regret that the finishing touches are not yet mature enough.
Only one of the above items was produced for this prototype.
