website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>IM MEN has introduced its latest accessory release, the \u201cLEATHER PLEATS\u201d shoulder bag, a design that translates the brand\u2019s signature pleated aesthetic into supple leather. The collection arrives in two sizes \u2013 large and small \u2013 crafted to balance sculptural form with everyday practicality.<\/p>\n<p>The larger version accommodates a 13\u2011inch laptop, making it suitable for commuting, while the smaller option is tailored for essentials such as a phone and wallet. Both models feature zippered interior pockets for organization and adjustable straps with ten settings, ensuring comfort across different styling needs. Offered in Black and Brown bi\u2011color finishes, the bags are designed to evolve with use, developing richer texture and sheen over time.<\/p>\n<p>Set to launch on September 1, 2026, the LEATHER PLEATS shoulder bag series will be available through IM MEN\u2019s official channels, including isseymiyake.com and select IM MEN stores.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6774953\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>eYe JUNYA WATANABE MAN x The North Face\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6773931\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>James Gunn Announces Filming on &#8216;Superman: Man of Tomorrow&#8217; Has Officially Wrapped\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6773349\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>8 Drops You Don&#8217;t Want to Miss This Week\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

from supple leather with a pleated design, adjustable straps, and interior pockets.<\/p>\n<p>Launches September 1, 2026 via IM MEN stores and ISSEY MIYAKE\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>IM MEN has introduced its latest accessory release, the \u201cLEATHER PLEATS\u201d shoulder bag, a design that translates the brand\u2019s signature pleated aesthetic into supple leather. The collection arrives in two sizes \u2013 large and small \u2013 crafted to balance sculptural form with everyday practicality.<\/p>\n<p>The larger version accommodates a 13\u2011inch laptop, making it suitable for commuting, while the smaller option is tailored for essentials such as a phone and wallet. Both models feature zippered interior pockets for organization and adjustable straps with ten settings, ensuring comfort across different styling needs. Offered in Black and Brown bi\u2011color finishes, the bags are designed to evolve with use, developing richer texture and sheen over time.<\/p>\n<p>Set to launch on September 1, 2026, the LEATHER PLEATS shoulder bag series will be available through IM MEN\u2019s official channels, including isseymiyake.com and select IM MEN stores.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6774953\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>eYe JUNYA WATANABE MAN x The North Face\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6773931\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>James Gunn Announces Filming on &#8216;Superman: Man of Tomorrow&#8217; Has Officially Wrapped\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6773349\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>8 Drops You Don&#8217;t Want to Miss This Week\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

from supple leather with a pleated design, adjustable straps, and interior pockets.<\/p>\n<p>Launches September 1, 2026 via IM MEN stores and ISSEY MIYAKE\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>IM MEN has introduced its latest accessory release, the \u201cLEATHER PLEATS\u201d shoulder bag, a design that translates the brand\u2019s signature pleated aesthetic into supple leather. The collection arrives in two sizes \u2013 large and small \u2013 crafted to balance sculptural form with everyday practicality.<\/p>\n<p>The larger version accommodates a 13\u2011inch laptop, making it suitable for commuting, while the smaller option is tailored for essentials such as a phone and wallet. Both models feature zippered interior pockets for organization and adjustable straps with ten settings, ensuring comfort across different styling needs. Offered in Black and Brown bi\u2011color finishes, the bags are designed to evolve with use, developing richer texture and sheen over time.<\/p>\n<p>Set to launch on September 1, 2026, the LEATHER PLEATS shoulder bag series will be available through IM MEN\u2019s official channels, including isseymiyake.com and select IM MEN stores.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6774953\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>eYe JUNYA WATANABE MAN x The North Face\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6773931\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>James Gunn Announces Filming on &#8216;Superman: Man of Tomorrow&#8217; Has Officially Wrapped\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6773349\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>8 Drops You Don&#8217;t Want to Miss This Week\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.
