I want to support the local economy of the Philippines with fashionable eco-items born from waste materials.
When I visited the Philippines 10 years ago, I happened to learn that local women are involved in the recycling and use of aluminum materials for regional revitalization. A local NGO launched a campaign to make a living for local residents with products made from collected recycled materials, and this movement spread throughout the country, creating jobs in impoverished areas and supporting the operation of local schools.
I happened to have a chance to visit the workshop of an NGO. There, they collected and cleaned aluminum packs of juices and other items that they had finished drinking, and used the materials to make bags, sandals, and other items. I was shocked by the pile of sparkling aluminum ribbons, the sight of the women knitting them by hand one by one, and the beauty of the bags they made. It was love at first sight.
At the time, I was living in Singapore, and in Southeast Asia, where there is a lot of rain and humidity, leather and vinyl materials can quickly become moldy, and cloth products can get wet when they are exposed to severe squalls, so I had a hard time choosing a bag. I came across aluminum unexpectedly, and it was exactly the ideal bag material for me. As soon as I took it back to Singapore and used it, it was well received by my friends around me, and it quickly spread by word of mouth, leading to pop-up shops at cafes, restaurants, hotels, etc.
I wanted to create something more fashionable and easy to use than the standard bags made by many NGOs in the Philippines, and I wanted to work together to develop a sustainable brand with added value that could not be imitated by others, so I began to propose bag designs using my experience working as a buying coordinator at a major department store in Japan.
Each piece is handmade by Filipino women
What are we doing?
Overcoming difficulties with Filipino women to develop and spread the brand to the world
After I started proposing designs, I visited the Philippines once every two months and had many discussions with them until I was satisfied. At first, communication was not going well, and the women in the workshop mistook "centimeter" for "inch" and ended up with a huge bag. Since it is a recycled material, it is often not possible to get the color as imagined without the specified color material.
However, while holding a pop-up in Singapore, many people agreed that it was an upcycled product made from aluminum material. In just one year, the four-hour event attracted 150 to 200 people and even made it to the queue. It seems that the rarity of products that cannot be mass-produced has also become attractive.
Meanwhile, in 2017, a factory in the Philippines burned down due to a fire caused by an electrical leak. Fortunately, no one was injured, but industrial sewing machines, materials, recycled materials, design data, computers, and products waiting to be shipped were all burned down. Among the approximately 250 female artisans, there were many mothers and single mothers raising small children living in impoverished areas, and there was an urgent need to rebuild their livelihoods as soon as possible. At that time, we raised funds through crowdfunding, and thankfully, we reached the target amount in just 30 days, and we were able to resume work in six months. With the cooperation of LYRIS fans, we held a charity event in Japan in a hurry, and many people reached out to do what they could. It's an event I'll never forget.
There is no end to the hardships, but I would like to convey the appeal of upcycled products to the world through LYRIS bags and give back to the local economy of the Philippines.
You can enjoy a different look for each product because of recycled materials.
Commitment to the product
LYRIS bags made from beverage packaging are waterproof. It is recommended not only for daily use, but also for outdoor events such as barbecues, camping, and the sea. The aluminum material is light and durable, so you can put heavy items in it. It can be wiped with water, making it easy to clean.
The simple and stylish design does not choose the scene. It does not feel out of place as a commuter bag and can be used on and off.
Tote bag (Mosaic)
A fully washable bag with a recycled rice bag liner (waterproof material) inside. It is an excellent product that can be used as a substitute for a cooler bag by putting cold things in it. It can be used not only for outdoor activities, but also as an eco-bag for carrying groceries.

Shoulder Bag (Mobile)
A mini bag for mobile that can store smartphones, keys, sunglasses, etc. Since it is waterproof, it is also suitable for outdoor activities. Since it is an aluminum specification, there is no need to worry about skimming of ICs.

Who are supporting us?
Since it is an upcycled product that uses waste materials, it is supported by those who are highly interested in environmental issues. Because it is waterproof, it is also popular with those who like the outdoors and the sea. Many of them have simple and unisex designs, and they are used by both genders. In addition, all designs that make use of the pattern of the material are one-of-a-kind, and are popular with those who are looking for unique fashion items.
In addition to being handled on the company's own e-commerce site, sales events have been held in various countries such as Sydney, Singapore, and Paris in the past. Currently, we are holding sales events mainly in Australia and Japan. In Japan, we have opened many pop-up events at major department stores such as Sogo-sama and Imperial Hotel Plaza.
Here's what our users have to say:
・ Convenient for traveling, especially for carry-on tote bags
・ From the simple but colorful patterns that can be seen in places, you can see that the pack was the raw material. I like cute designs
・ Since it is waterproof, it is safe even on rainy days, and you will want to use it every day.
・ When not in use, it folds compactly, and it is convenient without taking up storage space.
