A backpack from Kenzo Paris in cobalt blue, with an embroidered tiger above a front zip pocket and the house name sewn in red across its base. Worn, and recorded honestly below.
The Piece
The tiger has been the emblem of Kenzo since the house, founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, adopted it as its signature motif. Here it is embroidered in blue, grey and cream at the top of the bag, its face rendered in dense stitching against a vivid blue ground.
Below it a zip pocket runs across the front, and the lettering Kenzo Paris is embroidered in red beneath, set in widely spaced capitals. The bag has a black top handle, black adjustable shoulder straps with metal buckles, and a main compartment that opens wide on a zip. Inside is a black quilted-effect lining and a blue pocket on the back wall.
It is a bag of strong colour and a plain, practical shape, and the tiger and the red lettering carry the whole design. The blue is the kind that lifts a monochrome outfit without any further effort.
