About "BILLY business"
Developed as an evolution of FUMIKODA's popular "BILLY" backpack, the "BILLY business" attracted considerable attention during last year's crowdfunding campaign, surpassing its target amount in just 8 minutes after launch.
In addition to practical features for business use such as being "lightweight," "water-resistant," and "instantly convertible to a shoulder bag," the newly added "carry-on function" and "side pockets" met the needs of business professionals who travel frequently, garnering widespread support.
XL Size Ideal for Business Trips In response to customer requests, we are now offering the XL size, which was exclusively available during last year's crowdfunding, for general sale in limited quantities.
This model boasts the largest storage capacity in the series, designed for business professionals who need to carry large laptops or consolidate their luggage for business trips.
It is available in four colors suitable for business scenes:
Ivory, Navy, Black, Beige
About the Material FUMIKODA bags use "FUMITEX," a high-durability artificial leather made in Japan.
It features high durability and excellent water resistance, allowing for worry-free use even on rainy days. This material is also used in the interiors of luxury cars.
Sewing artificial leather requires advanced techniques, and only a few select workshops in Japan can complete these bags. Consequently, mass production is not possible, but we deliver products of high quality.
