1. A shoemaker order event featuring everything from established Japanese brands to rising stars.

We will continue to focus on our ever-popular custom-made shoes. From well-known established brands to up-and-coming stars, a diverse array of craftsmen with unique styles will gather in one place—that's what makes the Leather Fair so special.

The Ruttshoes&Co. / Ruttshoes * September 20th (Wed) - September 26th (Tue)

Founded in Asakusa in 2018, Rad Shoes is characterized by its shoemaking style that blends British and American styles with Japanese sensibilities and techniques. The photo shows shoes made of cordovan leather, and the appeal lies in its style that is based on American strength while also conveying a sense of refinement.

REGAL TOKYO *September 27th (Wed) - October 3rd (Tue)

We offer three types of custom orders: bespoke, where a last is created to fit your feet and a pair of shoes made to your liking; atelier-made 9/10-piece made shoes, where everything except the stitching is done by hand; and factory-made pattern orders, where you can customize the upper and other parts. In addition, original ready-made shoe items that are usually only available at Regal Tokyo stores will be specially sold at the Leather Fair.

SANTARI * September 29th (Fri) - October 1st (Sun)

Mr. Tachi, who has been highly regarded for his OEM manufacturing work, founded his company in 2018. He employs a manufacturing method in which lasting and welting are done by hand. As a result, he has a high degree of freedom in correcting the shoe last, which is characterized by its excellent fit and three-dimensional shape.

2. Order event for prestigious bag brands

"Masumi Bags," a 100-year-old tradition of Japanese beauty and craftsmanship *September 20th (Wed) - October 3rd (Tue)

Brands not usually available at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building will be appearing at the Leather Fair. The craftsmanship of prestigious companies that have been making bags since the Taisho era is a must-see.
