Suzuka

ECO-conscious collection

The Suzuka International Racing Course, more famously known as the Suzuka Circuit, is a motorsport race track located in Ino, Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, Japan. Built in the 1950's and having a capacity today of over 150,000 spectators it is Japan's premier racing circuit. Designed by Soichiro Honda, and still under Honda ownership today, it is perhaps most famous for its almost unique 'figure-of-eight' design layout. It is one of only two FIA tracks in the world to have this structure whereby the 1.2km back straight passes over the front section by means of an overpass. It is well known as one of the most demanding and yet rewarding tracks on the global circuit, with it packing a collection of all kinds of corners over a relatively small space. Indeed, this has made it especially popular amongst the drivers themselves, and insiders of the sport who rate it for the many challenges it presents. Indeed, Lance Stroll, the Canadian Formula 1 driver has said that it is the best place to truly feel what an F1 car can do with its combination of low and high speed corders. “I’m a big fan of Suzuka,” said Stroll. ” It’s one of the best, if not the best track, on the calendar. It’s where you really get to feel a Formula 1 car come alive and each part of the lap has something special." It is a track, therefore, that is respected by those who actually practise the craft of racing themselves day-in-day-out because it demands even more precision than your average track. The Japanese too are passionate and knowledgable when it comes to racing and so help create an electric atmosphere in the stands and around the course meaning that the whole area is buzzing with enthusiasm and energy. With this range we have taken the reputation of Suzuka and incorporated it into a collection that is very much for those for whom sport isn't just something they do on the field but is something that permeates every part of their life, they're very being.

ECO-FRIENDLY RPET polyester

To produce this eco-conscious collection, we created high-quality ECO-FRIENDLY fabrics manufactured using RPET polyester made from multiple used plastic bottles that ordinarily end up in a landfill or the ocean. Plastic bottles were processed into flakes, then melted down, re-spun into yarn, and ultimately woven into a variety of different fabrics. This groundbreaking method is one that rejects the ethos of 'fast fashion,' and instead offers a vision for the future in how we should, and need to create things in order to better protect the environment, and manage climate change.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

One of the things that really bothers us here at RIVACASE is the continuance of certain companies to use wasteful and unsustainable styles of packaging. In the pursuit of short term profits, this lazy method creates a huge amount of waste and uses up vast amounts of oil in the production of plastics that ultimately often end up in our oceans. It really is a lose-lose situation. We instead believe in sustainable packaging, and, in our case, we use 100% eco-friendly kraft paper and print with naturally derived soy ink, so that we reduce the hugely harmful effects of plastic waste.

100% eco-friendly kraft paper

We use 100% eco-friendly kraft paper to produce packaging for our eco-conscious collections. Kraft paper degrades naturally within a few weeks, decomposing just like leaves that fall off a tree. It leaves no impact on the environment, as kraft paper can be recycled for use in new packaging. This is the kind of method that will have a dramatic effect upon our oceans and natural environment. The huge amounts of plastic that end up in our seas cause massive issues for wildlife and often end up going into the food chain. 100% eco-friendly kraft paper does none of these things, and is also lovely to handle.

Printed with soy ink

As an eco-conscious manufacturer, we have also extensively researched the printing process, including interviewing and visiting our suppliers to ensure they adhere to the highest standards of sustainability. It’s for this reason that we have specifically decided to use soy-based ink in packaging printing. This means that we are making sure that at every stage of the process we are maintaining our socially and environmentally conscious approach and are not allowing shortcuts to be made by other suppliers further along the chain.
RIVACASE
This Suzuka collection is intelligent, complex, and discreet. It is almost too much and yet not enough to simply call it 'sporty.' Here you won't find any bright logos or accessories. It is streamlined and functional. It is a range for those for whom sport has penetrated into their everyday life in the form of style and comfort. It carries all the vibe of the best sportswear but with none of the shouty add-ons that that kind of style brings with it. It contains none of the slack - the bright and flashy aspects that want 'oh so hard' to draw your attention to them. It is understated and adaptable, it is sporty, and it isn't.

Water-resistant fabric

These days it is essential to try and keep all of your belongings free from danger at all times. Of course, this was always the case but now that we all carry about with us highly complex electronic devices, this need has become even more acute. To help prevent any possible damage due to moisture, this Suzuka range has been created out of a highly water-resistant fabric to ensure that your items remain free from danger no matter what journey you have ahead. So you can step out of the office and get on your bike but remain calm and relaxed even when you face a bit of a shower.

Durable RIVACASE plastic pullers

Flimsy pullers and zips on bags are always something that we avoid in the construction of our bags. A bag's main purpose, its raison d'etre is to keep your items safe during your journey and it simply cannot do this with faulty pullers and zips that can lead to spillages and tears. These kinds of accidents always occur when you need them least, like running across the airport concourse or when you are late for your check-in and need to get into your bag quickly but are foiled because of some cheap puller. This bag circumvents this issue with durable plastic pullers that you can depend on day-in-day-out.

Embroidered RIVACASE logo

Unlike many other companies, we don't believe in shouting about our products. Often the person shouting the loudest in the room is the one you should believe the least. We believe in the things we make and their craftsmanship and so we let the results speak for themselves. For that reason, we don't add flashy shiny logos to our designs but instead, like this one, keep them understated. This beautifully embroidered example typifies the values of our company and our desire to be 'seen and not heard.

Lightweight

It is important to ensure that you do everything to minimize the pressure on your shoulders and back when it comes to carrying weight around. Really you should be thinking about this every time you pack your bag and try to ensure you are only taking what you need. Trying to transfer weight is an art-form and we make sure that our bags are designed to spread weight as much as possible. One further way this Suzuka bag manages to minimize the stress is through its ultra-lightweight materials and construction which has been built to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during your journey.
