What is a latch?

Cocon's ties have a unique "bar fastening" in a place that cannot be seen from the outside.

There is a hidden latch on the back of the blade so that it cannot be seen from the outside.

The horseshoe-shaped clasp on the dagger is carefully handcrafted one by one.

This bartack not only serves the functional role of firmly securing the interlining and folds, but also serves as a decorative design that embodies the craftsman's skill and aesthetic sense.

Originally, a "bar" was an ancient Japanese technique for fastening wood or metal fittings horizontally to close a door. In ties, the bartack plays the same role as in joinery, supporting the structure, and is finished with a delicate stitch also known as a "bar tack."

It is precisely in the parts that cannot be seen that we spare no effort and aesthetic attention.
That is Cocon's manufacturing philosophy.
