Bag and luggage brand ace., from bag maker Ace Co., Ltd., is releasing the third installment of its cat-motif bag series, a collaboration with HAyU, the brand created by wire art artist Manabu Ogawa. The collection is available at ace. directly-managed stores, the online store, and major department stores and specialty shops nationwide, with rollout continuing in stages.
HAyU Cerome
A suitcase with a minimal design and practical features.
The elegant body shell has a pearlescent mirror finish, paired with an interior lining fabric printed with a pattern drawn from the wire art. Details such as a foil-stamped luggage tag featuring the wire art and a laser-engraved corner logo add a special touch unique to the collaboration. A side hook on the body lets travelers hang bags while on the move, while large dual-wheel casters built for smooth turning and stable rolling, plus a mesh interior pocket, round out a set of features designed for comfortable travel.

Each style includes a variety of pockets for storing small items, adding to the everyday usability. A gold charm engraved with the wire art design brings a subtle accent to the simple silhouette.

About HAyU
Built on the concept of "art that can be changed by the person displaying it," HAyU's wire art is created freehand by artist Manabu Ogawa. Its expression shifts with the viewing angle and the light, and it can be further reshaped by hand. Though the material itself is inorganic, the delicate nuances left by the artist's hand give each piece a sense of warmth, and the brand has earned a following as art that complements a wide range of spaces.
