CAURI
CAURI is a business bag made of 100% real carbon - carbon that shimmers with depth. The shell of the sophisticatedly designed business bag CAURI has an overwhelming presence, that catches the eye at first glance.
After producing carbon products for the world's most prestigious motorsports for 33 years, we wanted to produce something that brought that level of skills to life in a different kind of product. CAURI is a one-of-a-kind, top-of-the-line carbon bag born from the desire to "create carbon products that sublimate carbon composite technology. The ultimate business bag, which is the product of Tras, a master of carbon, a master of bag processing, and a master of painting, will beautifully add to your lifestyle.
The carbon shells, crafted to the highest quality by Tras, are processed by Endo Luggage Co., Ltd.. Renowned for producing high-quality bags that famously are innovative, "Endo Luggage", boasts Japans longest history in the bag-making. This company handles the processing of leather and eco-suede with a luxurious and substantial build. The interiors are fully cushioned, ensuring that laptops and tablets can be carried with peace of mind. The accompanying pouch, made from the same leather, is designed for quick storage of smartphones and the like. Utilizing the pouch allows for convenient access to small items, and when simplicity is desired, CAURI alone can be used. The production of CAURI is undertaken by artisans skilled in every aspect of the process.
Bringing out beauty
Painting carbon is very difficult in general. Carbon, which is composed of fibers and resin, is woven lengthwise and crosswise. It does not have a flat surface, but has small irregularities caused by folds. As part of Tras' product manufacturing process, we have a team of professional painters who work to ensure that the carbon is beautifully painted. It is the craftsmanship of the Tras painters that ensures a uniform and beautiful paint finish despite the unevenness. The same Tras painters are used to paint our most prestigious motorsports products. Enjoy the beauty of shells created by Tras painters with CAURI.

It can be handled in the same way as carbon, and can reduce CO2 emissions in production by as much as -85%. Tras is the first company in Japan to use natural fiber in its products, and although it is still a rare material in Japan, it is already gaining popularity in Europe as an eco-friendly and beautiful material that is equivalent to carbon.
