The BILLY Business Backpack: Elevate Your Professional Style

In today's fast-paced world, working women require both elegance and utility in their travel accessories. FUMIKODA has responded to this need with the release of the BILLY Business backpack, which will be available for general sale starting February 3, 2026. This multifunctional backpack has already garnered significant attention on crowdfunding platforms, surpassing its funding goal in just eight minutes.

Why is the BILLY Business Backpack So Popular?

The BILLY Business backpack is an upgraded version of FUMIKODA's highly lauded original BILLY bag. It combines lightweight material with exceptional durability while introducing a new carry-on feature designed to meet the demands of busy executives on the move. Its design, recognized for elegance by bespoke suit professionals, adds to its appeal.

Three Key Features of the BILLY Business Backpack

1. User-Centric Enhancements for Ultimate Usability
One remarkable feature allows the bag to effortlessly switch from a backpack to a stylish shoulder bag. This upgrade enhances the bag's business-friendly functionality.
- 2-Way Design: A simple pull of the strap instantly converts the backpack into a sleek shoulder bag.
- Side Pockets: Easy access to essentials like your wallet, smartphone, and business cards is possible even when wearing the bag.
- Carry-On Functionality: With double zippers on the back, the backpack can be attached to a suitcase handle, significantly reducing travel stress.

2. Elegance in All Weather
The bag is made with FUMITEX, a Japanese artificial leather used in high-end automotive interiors, providing both style and utility.
- Easy Care: FUMITEX is resistant to dirt and water, making maintenance as simple as wiping it down.
- Lightweight Yet Durable: Despite surpassing the quality of genuine leather, FUMITEX is incredibly light and can withstand daily wear-and-tear.

3. Sophisticated Design by Ginza Tailor
The bag has been meticulously crafted under the guidance of Ginza Tailor, a renowned custom suit maker since 1935.
- The material seamlessly integrates with a jacket style, providing a refined appearance while exuding reliability in professional settings.
