Our Leather
Premium materials sourced from Tokyo and Italy
Uncompromising Quality
Materials that tell a story
We source only the finest leather from established tanneries in Japan and Italy. Each hide is carefully selected for its character, grain, and durability.
"The natural markings in our leather aren't imperfections—they're the fingerprints of authenticity. Each wrinkle, grain variation, and natural mark tells the story of the animal's life and ensures no two bags are exactly alike."

Understanding Natural Leather Character
Why natural markings make each piece unique and valuable
Important: Natural Leather Characteristics
For international customers: Understanding these characteristics prevents misunderstandings and returns.
Our leather goods are crafted from 100% genuine natural leather that retains the authentic characteristics of the original hide. Natural leather features such as wrinkles, blood vessel traces, small scars, and scab marks are not defects or quality issues—they are the distinctive signatures of authentic, premium natural leather.
What You May See (These Are Normal):
Different textures across the leather surface
Natural fold lines from the animal's movement
Faint lines showing the hide's vascular system
Minor marks from the animal's natural life
Subtle differences in tone and saturation
Varying softness and firmness across areas
Why This Matters:
These natural characteristics are proof of authenticity and quality. Each mark tells a story and ensures that your bag is truly one-of-a-kind. Mass-produced synthetic materials can't replicate this natural beauty and individuality. We embrace these characteristics as part of our brand philosophy—celebrating the unique rather than seeking artificial uniformity.
Our Leather Selection
Each type chosen for specific qualities and characteristics
Italian Leather
World-renowned Italian craftsmanship produces leather with rich color depth and luxurious texture.
Tochigi Leather
Traditional Japanese tanning methods preserved for generations, creating leather with exceptional softness and strength.
Wax Leather (Himeji)
Leather made by tanning raw leather with vegetable tannins, dyeing it with dyes, and carefully applying wax to each piece one by one. The surface wax gradually blends in, allowing you to enjoy the deep, flavorful antique-style aging. The difference between the beginning and after the change is significant, giving you the feeling of 'nurturing leather'. This leather expresses reliable technology by domestic craftsmen.
Leather Care
Preserving beauty over time
Proper care ensures your bag develops a beautiful patina while maintaining its structural integrity for years to come.
Initial Care After Purchase
- No special oil treatment needed immediately after purchase
- Small scratches can be gently rubbed to minimize visibility
- Avoid over-applying care products
Regular Maintenance
- Gently dry wipe or brush the leather
- Use light pressure when removing dust
Conditioning
- Ideal frequency: Once per month
- Test on inconspicuous area first
Waterproofing (Optional)
※This is a reference example. Similar results may not be obtained for all leather types.
When Wet and Color Bleeding
If the leather gets wet from rain, wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth as soon as possible and let it dry.
Vegetable tanned leather is sensitive to moisture and may cause stains.
Additionally, vegetable tanned leather is made using dyes.
Since it's not pigmented, leather and clothing may easily color bleed when exposed to water.
Please be careful with moisture when using the product.
Storage
To prevent dust, cover with soft non-woven fabric or cloth, then store in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight to prevent deterioration from moisture.
Also, storing in high humidity locations may cause mold due to the natural materials.
When not using the product for extended periods, please store it in a well-ventilated place.
※Vinyl bags and similar materials have poor breathability and are not suitable for storage.
Important Note
Vegetable tanned leather is sensitive to water and may color bleed easily.
