Vintage Issey Miyake Patent Trim Nylon Tote Navy

Glossy patent leather accents frame the softly structured navy nylon body, giving this tote a crisp, architectural edge in the light. The silhouette is defined by dual flat handles that allow for both handheld and over-the-shoulder carry, with a subtle silver-tone snap button closure set into the upper rim — the only hardware detail visible on the clean exterior.

Inside, the tote is finished with a tonal navy nylon lining, revealing two slip pockets for easy organisation. The absence of overt logos or monogramming underscores the quiet minimalism that has come to characterise Issey Miyake’s accessories, focusing attention instead on material interplay and construction.

While the precise model is unconfirmed, the combination of technical nylon, high-gloss patent trims, and functional yet refined hardware is closely associated with Issey Miyake’s approach to bags from the late 1990s onward — a period marked by experimental materials and innovative folding techniques. The bag’s ability to fold flat further reflects this emphasis on versatility and modern utility, echoing the brand’s foundational ethos of form in service to movement.
