Description
Issey Miyake Né-Net “Nya” Bag. Did you know that the name MiAw is actually partially inspired by Né-Net? To us, the “Nya” (Japanese for Meow) print is the cutest thing in the world, and we love to feature it in our curations. This tote bag is spacious, has an inside pocket, and front- and backprint. Definitely a cute friend to have beside you every day.
Under the umbrella of Issey Miyake’s design studio, a company by the name of A-Net was formed in 1996, operating as a sister studio to Miyake Design Studios. A-Net is a fashion label home to many Ready-To-Wear brands that have gained massive popularity. These are brands such as mercibeaucoup, Tsumori Chisato, Final Home and ZUCCa. Né-Net is one of those brands. Unlike many other of the A-Net brands, Né-Net has gained international attention – mostly because of its playful approach to fashion, and its iconic “Nya” cat. Né-Net made their final Rakuten Fashion Week appearance for S/S 2015, and since then, the brand has been out of production, but Né-Net has become a rare Japanese gem. Né-Net was started in 2005 by Kazuaki Takashima, who had, until then, designed for Issey Miyake.
