Bag/Case Material

Giving new life to materials that were destined to be discarded.

This tote bag was created from seat belts slated for disposal and offcuts of synthetic leather. By utilizing upcycled materials, we’ve achieved a unique texture and high functionality while minimizing our environmental impact. The charm of this bag lies in the fact that, even within the same design, each piece has a distinct look due to the combination of materials. Seat belts and synthetic leather used in automotive interiors are materials designed to withstand harsh conditions. Three seat belts are used in the gusset, allowing you to carry heavy loads with confidence.

  • A4-compatible; can hold a laptopCushioned design for peace of mind
  • Makes organizing go smoothly: 4 inner pockets / 2 outer pockets
  • You can also use it for business trips: Attaches to carry-on luggage + metal fittings for attaching small items

素材のこだわり

Seat Belt

Strength born to protect others.

This product uses scrap materials and other byproducts generated during Tokai Rika’s automotive seatbelt manufacturing process. These are materials that were produced to protect human lives but were never installed in vehicles.

What Remains Before We Take on a Role

During the manufacturing process of automotive seat belts, there are inevitably some leftover pieces that cannot be fully utilized. At THINK SCRAP, we collect these materials and, after checking their colors and condition, transform them into bags and small accessories.

Automotive-grade quality designed to last for over 10 years

The material used for seat belts is designed to last for more than 10 years in a car. The tensile strength of the material is approximately 3 metric tons (for reference). It also offers excellent light resistance and is durable enough to withstand long-term use.

Material Properties

・Automotive-grade quality designed for over 10 years of use
・The material’s tensile strength is approximately 3 metric tons (for reference)
・Excellent light resistance; resistant to fading
・Smooth texture thanks to a silicone coating
・Resistant to stains and easy to maintain in everyday use

About Individual Differences

Due to scuffs, creases, small scratches, and surface haze, the transparency and appearance of each piece vary slightly. Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of industrial materials.

Synthetic Leather for Automotive Interiors

The softness and durability required for the interior.

This product uses scrap material from synthetic leather for automotive interiors produced by Daiichi Kasei Co., Ltd. Although this material was originally intended for use in vehicle interiors—which are designed to last a long time—it is left over from the manufacturing process.

Materials in the car interior that come into contact with people for long periods of time

Automotive interiors require materials with a texture that feels comfortable to the touch and fits the body, while withstanding the rigors of getting in and out of the vehicle and daily use. Among the materials crafted to meet these quality standards, we are repurposing scrap material generated during the manufacturing process for new applications.

Softness and reliable durability

It offers just the right amount of cushioning and has a texture that feels comfortable in your hand. Because it is resistant to friction and has excellent lightfastness, it’s a material you can use without hesitation in your daily life.

Material Properties

・Automotive-grade quality designed to last for over 10 years
・Cushioned and comfortable to hold
・Highly resistant to friction and durable enough for everyday use
・Excellent light resistance; resistant to fading

Even the subtle differences reflect the essence of the material

Since we use scrap wood, the color, surface grain, and texture vary from piece to piece. Please enjoy these unique variations as part of the material’s character.
