Many models of Côte-et-Ciel backpacks are made of “Eco Yarn,” an original material that boasts outstanding water repellency.
The material used in Côtes-et-Ciel backpacks is called Eco Yarn. Eco Yarn is a material made from recycled yarns, which are spun from unused and discarded fiber materials, yarn scraps, and fabrics. It is a high-quality original fabric dyed in a unique ecological process that aims to eliminate sources of environmental pollution such as petroleum-derived raw materials and non-biodegradable materials. The most important feature of Eco-Yarn is its surprisingly excellent water repellency. It repels water without absorbing it, so even on rainy days, there is little risk of flooding and the gadgets and items inside can be protected. The material is also stain-resistant, making it suitable not only for town use but also for outdoor activities such as trekking and camping. The texture of the material is slightly hard to the touch, which is different from that of ordinary nylon backpacks.

Minimalist design” is the philosophy behind Côtes-et-Ciel’s backpacks.
Côte-et-Ciel’s flagship model, the “ISAR,” has gained popularity for its original design that overturns the conventional concept of a backpack. Côte-Éciel created this innovative backpack based on the concept of ” making a bag from a piece of cloth. One of its greatest features is that sewing is barely visible from any angle. The design was created with an awareness of adding as little cutting and sewing as possible to the fabric, resulting in a clean, minimalist design.
The minimalist design concept is not limited to ISAR. The square-form “Rhine” is similar in shape to a typical backpack, but the stitching and zippers are barely visible, a specification that has been preserved.

The internal structure of the Côte-et-Ciel backpack is ideal for storing a laptop computer.
Sophisticated design is not limited to appearance. Côte-et-Ciel backpacks have a calculated storage capacity.

The ISAR’s main compartment appears when the front three-dimensional zipper is opened. It is designed to hold a variety of items, and has straps for plastic bottles and pockets for small items, allowing you to comfortably organize your luggage.
Another appeal of the Côte-et-Ciel is that it does not change its thinness even when fully loaded with items, such as a 13-inch or larger laptop, tablet, mobile battery, camera, plastic bottle, notebook, etc. The appearance is almost the same as if it were empty, which is another reason why the Côte-et-Ciel is said to be revolutionary.
