About Cloud Seza

Cloud dia seza nahazo aingam-panahy avy amin'ny oram-be hita eo ambonin'ny morontsirak'i Nosy Okinawa any Japana. Ny velaran'ny fipetrahana dia natao tamin'ny fanindronana fibre polyester amin'ny fôsy polyuréthane amin'ny fanjaitra, izay mamorona endrika malefaka toy ny rahona. Ny fipetrahana avo dia manome fahatsapana mitsingevana ho an'ilay olona mipetraka. Ny tongotra vy tsy harafesina manjelanjelatra toy ny fitaratra sy ny fototra dia namboarina avy amin'ny bara boribory manify izay maneho ny orana milatsaka. Ny isa, ny halava ary ny savaivon'ireo bara dia nofaritana tamim-pitandremana. Cloud dia vita tanana avy amin'ny vy tsy harafesina, fibre polyester, hazo ary fôsy polyuréthane.
