A special order from CLUTCH CAFE, a heritage style store loved by CLUTCHMANs around the world.
CLUTCH CAFE is a heritage-style select shop located in London. It opened in February 2018 as a concept store for CLUTCH Magazine. The shop selects exquisite items from Japan, the US, France, Italy, and other countries, and has become a popular store that is attracting attention in Europe. The shop attracts heritage and vintage culture enthusiasts, but due to its location right next to the BBC, celebrities such as musicians and actors are also customers.
Mutsumi Matsushima, editor-in-chief of CLUTCH Magazine, also serves as chairman of CLUTCH CAFE. Matsushima himself designed this vintage-style newspaper bag. The front features the CLUTCH CAFE address printed in large letters, with the CLUTCH Magazine logo on the side. Originally planned for sale at CLUTCH CAFE, it is now also available for order at CLUB-Lightning for Japanese CLUTCH Magazine fans (referred to as CLUTCHMAN overseas).
The material is 19oz. 100% cotton canvas fabric, with a used finish applied to recreate the aged vintage texture. The bag is dyed gray, evoking the cloudy skies of London, with a printed design. This vintage-inspired newspaper bag is designed to age beautifully over time.
The print on the front is a vintage-style dye print. Used processing is applied to enhance the texture.
The patch pocket on the outside features a “CLUTCH Magazine” print. This part is colored red to make it stand out a little.
Only the red print is deliberately faded to give it a vintage look.
Focusing on tough construction, rivets are used to reinforce the belt.
With plenty of extra space, it has excellent storage capacity. It meets Matsushima's needs, who usually carries two PCs, a tablet, and many other tools.
The top has a snap-on cover. Even when the cover is removed, the top can be closed with snaps.
One of the great details of this bag is that even when the lid is removed, the opening can be closed with snap buttons.
It has two inner pockets, making it very convenient to use. If you want to put your wallet, cell phone, and other small items in your bag, you can rest assured!
