The tradition of the box-shaped bag is expressed with a modern design.
This three-dimensional, rounded tote bag is a simple yet elegantly crafted item. The handles, which curve outwards, are designed to resemble the hardware on a box-shaped bag. The large opening allows for easy insertion and removal of items such as a laptop, making it highly functional.

A unique fastening system that doesn't use metal fittings is its iconic feature.
The "Kakushi" design involves securing the flap by sliding the pointed end into a slit. The pointed end has just the right amount of bulge, making it easy to insert into the slit but difficult to slip out. The material used is Alaskan leather, which has an appealingly substantial texture.

ISETAN Leather Fair 2024 will be held.

The "Shoe Fair," which has been held six times in the past and has been well-received, has been scaled up last year and is now called the "Leather Fair." This time, in response to requests from leather enthusiasts, the event will feature not only shoes, but also bags and leather accessories. We will introduce a wide variety of leather items, from products that prioritize "high quality" to items that focus on custom orders, trends, cost performance, and vintage, as well as maintenance services.
