folding nendo’s bag in half creates two spaces where you can store A4 sized drawings and documents, while the middle part of the flex section houses rolled-up drawings, heavy catalogs or books, and samples of construction materials. the two handles can also be stowed away, meaning that the product can be transformed into a clutch bag when there are fewer things to carry. featured in the front center of the bag is tod’s signature ‘stripe’ mark, reaffirming the association with the company’s other products.
