Designphil Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Ichiro Aida) is a design company that facilitates communication through design, accentuates the fun side of life and offers new lifestyle solutions. Designphil is pleased to announce the release of new items in the “Chotto” series of its “MIDORI” product brand. The popular “Chotto” series, on sale now, adds color to the special little (chotto) moments in everyday life. The “CLEAR FACED BAG <L> WITH ZIPPER” (460 yen excl. tax), “CLEAR FACED BAG WITH GUSSET” (420 yen excl. tax) and “ROLL STICKER” (380 yen excl. tax)(*1) will be available for purchase from September 13, 2017. The series name, “Chotto” has lots of meanings. It can mean "little" or "slight," "casually" or "simply." Whether you're wrapping a little gift or present, throwing a casual party at home, or having a small celebration to mark a special day... It's the little (chotto) things that make something special and show how you feel. The company is releasing three items with new designs: the “CLEAR FACED BAG <L> WITH ZIPPER,” a wrapping bag with a zipper, the “CLEAR FACED BAG WITH GUSSET,” which can hold thick baked goods, jars, small bottles, and cans, and the “ROLL STICKER,” stickers that serve as decorative accents for wrapping. The “CLEAR FACED BAG <L> WITH ZIPPER” will be available in a new size, as well as the <S> and <M> sizes of the popular “CLEAR FACED BAG” available now. This wrapping bag can be used for everyday gifts, such as return gifts, a portion of a gift given to you that you offer to someone-else, and thank-you presents, given in casual situations. The front is made of transparent film, so that you can see what is inside, and the back is made from paper. (*2) To ensure that this bag can hold more large items than before, it has a zipper so you can close the top tightly. Four patterns are available: “Watercolor Forest,” “Kraft Dots,” “Kraft Stripe,” and “Watercolor Dots.” These patterns combine the popular colored patterns of “Origami Patchwork,” proposed by “Chotto,” which sticks together “Origami Origami” paper like patchwork. You can use this bag for combinations of different items, such as when you want to put several different souvenirs together, or pack a variety of snacks to give to someone. It is also a great fit for small but thick items like hand towels and handkerchiefs, or miscellaneous presents. Three patterns, printed on the transparent film at the front of the “CLEAR FACED BAG WITH GUSSET,” a wrapping bag with a gusset convenient for thick confections and small items, have been newly added to the range: the “Front Print Ribbon Red,” which appears to be tied with a ribbon, the “Front Print Heart,” recommended for the Valentine season, and the “Front Print Flower,” with various charming flowers in a simple brilliant white. Enjoy combining the bag patterns with the items you put in them. Seal the bag with the “ROLL STICKER,” a sticker that serves as a decorative accent for wrapping. Five patterns will be available; add the perfect message to your gift with the heart-shaped “Red Heart,” the sparkling, eye-catching metallic “Flower Metallic” and “Triangle Metallic,” or the larger patterns, the “Red Ribbon Metallic” and “Rosette Metallic,” which are easy to use for detailing. These rich patterns offer even more variation in addition to the 13 patterns, with different shapes and sizes, already available.
