In this episode of "Adults' Field Trip," buyer Fukushima, who has been designated a "semi-regular" on the show, introduces the latest 2025 collection from ACATE , a Japanese bag brand that he describes as an "Italian brand."

ACATE is committed to the inherent quality and texture of leather, and its design concept is "form follows function," expressing Japanese aesthetic beauty with Italian craftsmanship and sensibility. Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building B1F, the men's bag section boasts one of the largest selections in Tokyo, with approximately 20 different styles.
So, what kind of ACATE bags will the three GUIDE crew members find?

• ACATE appeal lies in the fusion of Japanese and Italian essences.

  The brand's concept development originates in Japan, while the products are manufactured in an established bag factory in Italy. It is popular for its meticulous craftsmanship, which is characteristic of Japanese brands, combined with sophisticated designs and a refined, effortless finish.

Choose a bag that matches the GUIDE crew's character and styling!

Tsuchiya investigates the optimal bag for today's world where people carry fewer belongings.

We'll introduce two "classic items" from Fukushima Tsuchiya, and the first is the "OSTRO2-SS (Ostro 2 SS size)," which is a downsized version of ACATE 's brand icon, "OSTRO."
OSTRO offers an S size called "OSTRO2-S," but some customers have commented that it's "a little too big," so we've introduced an SS size this season.

It's rare to find a Tsuchiya Boston bag in this size.

Fukushima currently carries less luggage, so the size is adjusted accordingly, but it can still comfortably fit a PC or tablet. It's a popular size not only among men but also among women.

It's certainly compact in size, but it has a good capacity.

Fukushima offers pockets that are perfect for those little itches, as well as zippered pockets that are convenient for storing important items.

It's a thoughtfully sized bag, and the taupe color is popular with both men and women, so it seems like it would be perfect for day trips.

Another recommendation from Fukushima is the "SUPERIORE" briefcase. ACATE has released two new briefcase models this season.


Actually , Tsuchiya doesn't own a briefcase.


The Fukushima bag has a rounded shape, and its key feature is the interior, which has a zipper that goes all the way down, making it suitable for storing tablets and PCs. It also has zippered pockets and exterior pockets. It's a great bag to have when you need to make a big impact at work.

The Tsuchiya design is both stylish and functional, and the leather texture and color are a lovely deep navy. The tassel adds a nice touch.

So, how many ways did Fushinuki choose to carry his bag?

For Ms. Fushinuki, who doesn't seem to carry much luggage, we chose small bags. These are the "NUOVO" one-handle mini bag and the "CAMMINARE" shoulder bag from ACATE .

The "NUOVO" is a popular model, and its most distinctive feature is that it can be held in various ways.

It's great that it can be carried by hand or worn over the shoulder. The size is also perfect for holding a cell phone, smartphone, and wallet, and the pockets make it very practical.

One of the features of this Fukushima bag is that it blends in with various occasions; it looks great slinged over the shoulder with casual outfits, and carried by hand with jacket styles.

It seems like there are about 12 different ways to carry it, including by hand , over the shoulder, and with the joints removed.

Another item from Fukushima is the "CAMMINARE" shoulder bag. The shoulder strap is nice and long, so it's perfect for summer outfits, but it can also be used when you feel it's too short for layering in winter. The shape is truly classic.

It looks good worn over the shoulder or across the body. Actually, I'm kind of admiring the way Tashiro-san carries it, draped short over her outerwear.

Because it's tall and narrow, you can fit plenty of things inside, and it also has a pocket on the back.

The knotless construction looks practical and would suit a dressy style well.

Tashiro, who owns many bags, has a "quirky = unique series"

For Tashiro-san from Fukushima , who has a unique taste, we have prepared the basic tote bag "ETERNO" and the Ostro SS intrecciato model "OSTRO2-SS INTRECCIATO (Ostro 2 SS size intrecciato)".

Tashiroko 's "Eterno" has a belt in a really unusual place.

Fukushima 's bag has a simple yet distinctive design that won't be easily seen on others. It also features a belt on the back that allows you to attach it to a carry-on suitcase for business trips or travel. Because the leather is thinly skived, it's lighter than it looks.

Based on my own research, it can hold quite a lot, and because it has a leather bottom inside, it's very sturdy.

Another Fukushima product is the Intrecciato version of the Ostro SS, which uses shrink leather woven by overseas craftsmen, inspired by Japanese bamboo craftsmanship.



The fact that the Tashiro bag has intrecciato weaving even on the inside is unique and nice.

Fukushima Mako's new model incorporates Japanese elements, so I think it's really cool.

This is perfect for me, as I love Tashiro bamboo.
