The "Bonobono" model school bag not only has a color that looks just like a bonobono, but also has a subtle bonobono design on the inside of the cover and on the shoulder straps. The front pocket is shaped like Bonobono's trademark seashell motif, and reflective material inspired by the sea is used on the sides. This product is based on the idea that ``I want children to become interested in the ecology of living things and the global environment through a spark of curiosity, and to grow up while making many discoveries and learnings every day.''
Igarashi commented, ``I was the youngest of three boys, so my school bag must have been a hand-me-down from my eldest brother.I never expected someone to use Bonobono for such a school bag, so I was very surprised and happy.I hope that by going to school with a Bonobono school bag, the children's school life will be even a little more enjoyable.'' An exhibition will also be held at the CHIKYU Aoyama showroom starting today.
