Linton: Vacances A5 Cousin Size - Techo Lineup

LintonVacancesA5 Cousin Size

Linton has established a solid position as a textile brand since the early 20th century. While a traditional company, Linton has always taken on the challenge of creating new designs.

The textile used in “Vacances” is a perfect example of this. It is pop and cute, yet they utilize a long-established company’s weaving techniques.

Each blue, white, and silver thread is woven horizontally, spreading downward, looking like sparkling waves in the summer sea. The threads of translucent red, green, blue, and yellow occasionally appear in between. The randomly placed pom-poms add a charm to the fabric.

The bright yellow color of the leather zipper pull adds an accent.

The inner cover is the same bright yellow as the zipper pull, which would cheer you up when you open your techo. You can also find a LINTON tag inside.

With this techo cover at your side, you may find yourself in a good mood with the thoughts of the fun plans lying ahead, even on busy or uneventful days.

We have a techo cover and tote bag for the Linton lineup.

About Linton

Founded in 1912 by William Linton in Carlisle, the northernmost part of England. Developed a unique textile known as fancy tweed by weaving fancy yarns into high quality wools and cottons, said to be “designed to be made into clothes.” Linton made great strides by working with notable fashion brands. Their innovative fabrics, made from high-quality worsted wool and yarn that are dyed in-house, are beloved by the world’s best fashion designers.

Fabric woven with playfulness

Linton is famous as a long-established tweed manufacturer. When I first saw this textile, I was surprised that they make such playful fabric because I had a strong image of classical tweeds. The pom-poms are woven unevenly, and there are colorful threads used here and there, and the expansive style of weaving! It is their long period of history that allows them to try out something like this.

We selected yellow leather for the inner cover to brighten your mood when you open your techo. The zipper pull is also made of the same yellow leather material and made sure to make the charm’s design not too cute.

We named this techo cover “Vacances,” hoping the users always have that excitement of spending a summer vacation.
