Our Values

The principles that guide everything we do

Quality Over Quantity

We believe in making fewer, better things. Each bag receives the time and attention it deserves, rather than rushing to meet production quotas.

Sustainable Practices

We source materials responsibly and design for longevity. A bag that lasts decades is more sustainable than one that needs replacing every few years.

Personal Connection

Even though we ship worldwide, we maintain a personal touch. Each bag carries a piece of our story and becomes part of yours.

Our Process

From concept to completion, every step is handled with care

Watch our handcrafting process from design to completion, made one by one with care.

Design and Manufacturing in Tokyo

Urban Energy

The vibrant, sometimes chaotic energy of Tokyo streets informs our design process, pushing us to find order within complexity.

Timeless Design

While Tokyo constantly evolves, we focus on creating pieces that transcend trends, designed to age gracefully with their owners.

Functional Beauty

Every element serves a purpose. Beauty emerges not from decoration, but from the harmony between form and function.

Based in Tokyo, we create bags that are loved and used around the world.

We don't have physical stores, but we ship worldwide. In the Tokyo area, we hold exhibition sales irregularly.
