If You Have An Adversion To Octopuses,

this is most probably not the post for you!


Cokeco are a Fukuoka-based design duo who create leather accessories inspired by the natural curiosities of the world around them, I should say that Fukuoka is the capital of Fukuoka Prefecture, that sits on the northern shore of Japan’s Kyushu Island, and in their quest for something different in their latest range of  bags, keychains and other everyday accessories, a multi legged creature was chosen, 

the octopus, and was made into a number of fashion items, like the Octopus Bag (as seen above), it is an ingenious design that comes with a shoulder strap, now the neat bit, the tentacles also have magnets in them, allowing the octopus to to clip on to other bags as if it’s alive, there are also multiple storage pouches hidden in the head and tentacles,

behold the octopus back pack, 

there is even a key chain,

comprised of partners Chie and Tatsuki Tanaka, Cokeco (pronounced Ko-keh-ko and taken from the sound a rooster makes) will be having an exhibition in Tokyo later this month from 9/20 – 9/23/2024 at this shop and gallery in Kichijoji, 

if course if you’re in Fukuoka you can always stop by their shop as well, or visit them online.
