TEMBEA: A Bag To Explore With

PADDLERS SHOWROOM likes to introduce a new brand TEMBEA, a Japanese brand founded in 2004 that focuses on creating everyday use bags.

Uniquely the designer creates each bag with a distinct purpose in mind, such as carrying bread or toys, newspapers, textbooks, vegetables, and so on.  With this in mind, TEMBEA came up with its brand name and philosophy, which means “Wandering" in Swahili. The brand encourages all of its users to feel free to explore life with its rugged and unique TEMBEA bags. 

Yes, the world is your oyster!

TEMBEA primarily uses special canvas, with thread made from combed cotton fibers and woven with a 50 years old-fashioned shuttle loom that creates a signature solid selvage. The process gives a clean, stable, and firm yarn with an original, lustrous appearance. 

Furthermore, like the frosting on the cake, the canvas gets treated with paraffin in the end, a type of wax that makes the fabric water repellent.

TEMBEA tries to utilize the fabric potential to its best.

As we know, canvas has been used for centuries as a sturdy material for things like sails, tents, and other outdoor gear, and as years passed, it became famous for all sorts of fashion items and accessories. 

Also, with its strength, canvas fabric tends to get softer over time and adjust to the person that uses it, and this is a future that helps the product to be long-lasting. You can see yourself as the image below shows the comparison of the aging of the bags. The right bag is six years aged, and it’s still perfect for use!

As you know, PADDLERS is the exclusive global wholesaler of TEMBEA bags.
