In this article, we’ll talk about the Healthy Back Bag, an item available now at Atsuro Tayama outlets. Such sling bags, or “one shoulder bags,” are known for being casual and sporty, but this particular product adds a dash of class, perfect for women’s outfits. If you adjust the strap length, this sling bag can become a one strap backpack.

Indeed, the product’s very name implies that it’s meant to be worn on one’s back like a back pack. The bag is engineered to apply as little strain on the wearer’s body as possible using the expertise of a chiropractor. With its body-fitting design, weight-distributing construction, and ease-of-use, it’s little wonder people who buy it for themselves reportedly come back to buy them as gifts.

The bags come in plenty of colors, with patterns that vary by season.

They also come in a variety of materials. This bag here has a smooth, water-repellent surface thanks to its microfiber construction. (12,500 yen minux tax) It’s made to go well with skirts and stylish getups.

The rugged surface of this “texture nylon type” is made so that it can be washed in a washing machine. (11,500 yen minus tax) It’s perfect for everyday usage and goes well with casual outfits.

Then there’s the leather type. (33,000 yen minux tax) Its light and soft leather looks good on men and women alike and is fit for all kinds of scenes.

We’re told that Atsuro Tayama has different bags in different colors and designs at different locations to fit the needs of their customer bases.

The number-one feature of this bag is its perfectly engineered functionality. It was designed to ensure that it covers the entire back when worn as a back bag, lessening the weight applied to the shoulder. The shoulder strap also has a gripping pad to keep it in place. As a shoulder bag, it has the benefit of ease-of-access: you don’t need to take it off to retrieve things from it.

And of course, it can be used as a hand-held strap bag.

Healthy Back Bag Feature #2: Plenty of storage

Healthy Back Bag Feature #2: Plenty of storage

One surprising feature of this bag is the amount of things you can fit in it! Despite the bag’s lightness and compact form, it has loads of pockets and plenty of storage space inside. It has a capacity of six whole liters! This surprising capacity is one thing that makes these bags so great.

Healthy Back Bag Feature #3: Easy access

Healthy Back Bag Feature #3: Easy access

The interior has so many pockets and pouches you might wonder how you could make use of them all. However, these divisions help to spread weight out and keep things from mixing together. Used well, you’ll never have to scrounge around for specific items as you might with a backpack or other simple bags.

There are also exterior pockets for both sides of the bag. It’s a simple feature, but makes a big difference for ease-of-use, and such thoughtful measures are likely why people buy multiple bags.

Patterns like these dots are only found in Japan. (12,500 yen minux tax) The smaller pouch (4,500 yen minux tax) can be used as a handbag or as a separate compartment for the larger shoulder bag. The 2020 year will see plenty of Japan-themed designs, with patterns like the Japanese flag and cherry blossoms! Look for them in stores starting March 2020!
