Bubble wrap…by Issey Miyake!

The online catalogue is just about to be updated with the new Spring-Summer collections now in the shop. But while awaiting milder temperatures, let’s go on a trip to find out more about one of this season’s items. Something with a decidedly ingenious, original build.

The down jacket in the photo comes from the Issey Miyake cutting-edge textile laboratories and, through umpteen experiments, is an absolute novelty. Unlike those customary, foreseeable squares, the coat’s padding is sophisticated balls creating that bubble wrap effect, the well-known protective packaging used to transport fragile items.

Each ball is sewn singly with elasticized thread increasing the garment’s containing capacity.

Can you just imagine how complicated it is to repeat the same padded module umpteen times?

The line, simple on the whole, leaves room for the three-dimensional volume. The high thermal properties, a result of how the fabric is worked, coat length, weight, just about non-existent, and its innovative design can all be considered the garment’s special features. But let’s not forget details and comfort typical of the Miyake Maison. Like the neck, with its inner buttons, from which you can remove the wool and ausetex part.

The ideal coat for any winter temperature. A pleasant, useful alternative to those serial, cumbersome, seasonal down jackets.

    Hello,
    Which is the composition of this textile?

      Thank you Eliah for your comment!
      The bubbles of this Issey Miyake coat are all made and padded in polyester, the most used fabric at Maison Issey Miyake. Through the hi-tech procedures applied to this material, often considered poor and cheap, it becomes more precious than the silk.
      Hoping this answer will be useful to you; I wish you a nice day.

    ilpluriball e’ probabilmente l’imballo ammortizzante piu’ economico e diffuso nel mondo. E pensare che è stato inventato per sbaglio da due ingegneri che volevano fare carta da parati… ora è anche utilizzato nella moda! Incredibile.

      Verissimo Luca…però la Maison Issey Miyake non pone limiti all’immaginazione sui materiali da inserire e trasformare per essere indossati!!!
