Thank you as always for your continued support of master-piece. This is Honda from master-piece KYOTO.
As we enter March, many of you may be starting to rethink what you carry as you prepare for a new role or environment.
For this occasion, we have selected a 3-WAY backpack from the Rise series and a 2-WAY backpack from the STREAM series to help you transition into your new chapter.
We will be highlighting the differences between the rugged Rise and the minimal STREAM.
Rise ver.2 3-WAY Backpack 02267-v2
While it has a rugged appearance, this bag blends naturally into your everyday style while still making a confident statement.
As the name suggests, the 3-WAY backpack offers three ways to carry — a backpack for easy movement on the go, a handheld bag for business meetings, and a shoulder bag when the situation calls for it — making it a versatile companion that adapts to any scene.
The flexibility to switch between carrying styles makes this a popular choice for those who frequently attend business meetings and tend to carry a lot, as well as those who are always on the move.
■A Size That Fits Seamlessly into Everyday Life
It offers enough space to store laptops up to 16 inches separately, making it a perfect fit for those who have thought “I want to carry a larger laptop, but I don’t want something that looks too bulky.”
It also sits snugly against your body when commuting by bus or train. Whether placed horizontally or vertically on your lap, the bag strikes a perfect size balance — never too big, never too small — allowing for a stress-free experience on the go.
■Storage
The three-dimensional pattern design maximizes storage capacity, and the inner pockets feature gussets for extra depth.
The main compartment is spacious enough to fit clothing, making it easy to pack a change of clothes for after work separately. It can securely store all your essentials such as a wallet, smartphone, and water bottle.
The front pocket is also equipped with divided pockets for pens and small items, as well as a carabiner with a cord — perfect for keeping items you need quick access to, such as a handkerchief, tissues, or an IC card.
STREAM 2-WAY Backpack 05001
Minimal and simple, yet uncompromising in functionality — this bag strikes the perfect balance between “just the right amount of simplicity” and ease of use.
Packed with carefully selected materials and practicality, it checks all three boxes: ease of movement, a polished impression when carried, and durability — making it an item you can cherish for years to come.
The 2-WAY backpack’s greatest appeal lies in its ability to instantly switch between a hands-free backpack style for commuting and a handheld style. In recent years, as remote work has become more widespread, more and more people are choosing the 2-WAY backpack.
It is especially recommended for those who primarily use it as a backpack but occasionally need to carry it by hand.
■A Smart, Sleek Look
This bag also fits laptops up to 16 inches, but compared to the Rise, it is slightly slimmer and a little taller in profile.
Despite its slim construction, it features enough depth to hold a water bottle or plastic bottle upright.
It is the perfect size for those who think “I want to carry everything I need, but still look put-together.
■Storage Designed for the Way You Live Now
The STREAM series is characterized by its understated, smart design, yet it features a variety of pockets structured to keep small items from getting lost.
The upper front pocket is mesh-style, making it ideal for storing small items such as a smartphone or wireless earphones.
As with the Rise series, the front pocket is also equipped with divided pockets for pens and small items, as well as a carabiner with a cord.
The thoughtfully designed layout allows you to retrieve what you need with ease, helping you stay organized even with smaller items and enhancing your comfort in daily use.
Simply reconsidering the bag you use every day can make a remarkable difference in how you feel during your commute and at work. Rather than asking “which one is better,” we recommend choosing between the 3-WAY and 2-WAY backpacks based on “how you’ll use it” — selecting the one that best fits your lifestyle and needs.
Wearing something you love naturally lifts your spirits, so choosing based on your personal style and aesthetic is also a great approach.
We encourage you to visit us in store and get a feel for each bag firsthand. When you find yourself in Kyoto, please stop by master-piece KYOTO — and take a moment to unwind at the adjoining masterpiececoffee.
We look forward to welcoming you.
