doublet Turns Your Most Used Emojis Into a Bag for FW26
Turning your unseen feelings into something you can wear.
Summary
doublet’s FW26 "EMOJI LEATHER BAG" features 3D cowhide emoji expressions.
The design physicalizes unseen human emotions to lighten emotional weight.
It releases November 9 for approx. $860 USD at select retailers.
Masayuki Ino’s doublet has always thrived on humor and subversion, turning the mundane into the unexpected. For its Fall/Winter 2026 collection, the brand taps into everyday emojis and turns them into something you can wear with the EMOJI LEATHER BAG.
The playful design stems from a longstanding adage: bags that look like faces sell well. doublet took the saying literally, utilizing intricate leather patching and precise stitching to recreate three emoji expressions in three dimensions across the front of the bags. The available expressions include the crying-laughing face, the pleading face, and the green vomiting face.
Crafted from soft cowhide leather, the tote balances its loud exterior with practical, everyday utility. Equipped with a detachable shoulder strap, allowing the wearer to effortlessly switch between hand-carry and crossbody styling.
Beyond its immediate visual punchline, the design carries a deeper meaning. doublet finds that human emotions are inherently invisible. The brand wants to explore how, by boldly wearing these unseen feelings as a physical object, the wearer could reduce the emotional weight they carry and make them feel lighter.
Available in Camel and Black, the doublet EMOJI LEATHER BAG releases on November 9, available for ¥137,500 JPY (approx. $860 USD) at doublet’s online store, and select retailers in Japan.
