――Airo = I's color

In today's world, it is easy to feel lost due to the diversity of choices due to information overload, and self-denial due to comparison with other people's lifestyles.

A designer from ROOTOTE , a color psychology counselor, interviewed 30 working women in various occupations about their lifestyles, bags, and belongings.

What I felt when facing real values was the diversity of women living in the present age. It is also the diversity within each person's heart. Through working, the mind is shaken and changed in various ways, such as discomfort, stress, responsibility, joy, and a sense of accomplishment. In the midst of such changes, I am searching for the right balance for myself and for myself.

I wondered what kind of tote bag they would need, and tried to develop it.

The goal was to use the tote bag to allow people to spend their time in their own way.

After various trials and errors, the 2-way tote " airo " for working women was completed.

What is an interview with a working woman?

Performing color work to express one's feelings with colors, and independently investigating the relationship between colors and the feelings of working women.

They expressed colors and related keywords on the themes of "work", "stress", "favorite things/talents", and "healing/relaxation". At the same time, we also interviewed working women's stress and requests for bags. I was able to touch a lot of inner parts of working women by interviewing them face-to-face and face-to-face with each and every one of them.

Work bags tend to focus on functionality and design is secondary, but Airo is a bag that is light, has storage capacity, and is fully functional, while the design is simple and the colors are fun. Next time I will choose from the combination of colors that I think I need!
