This edition of "Adult Field Trip" focuses on the "PITTI IMMAGINE UOMO@ISETAN MEN'S" event held at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . Fukushima, a buyer of bags and men's shoes, will explain the highlights of this event, which allows customers of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building to experience the atmosphere of "PITTI," the men's fashion exhibition originating in Florence, Italy, and highlight some noteworthy items.

Experience the atmosphere of "PITTI" at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . What is "PITTI IMMAGINE UOMO@ISETAN MEN'S"? Fukushima explains the key points.

"PITTI" is a trade show held twice a year in Florence, Italy, in January and June, where brands from all over the world gather to showcase the latest trends in men's fashion. Fukushima says that the January 2026 "PITTI" had the theme "MOTION," expressing a mood of returning to the basics while embracing change.

From Wednesday, September 16th, for two weeks, Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building will host "PITTI IMMAGINE UOMO@ISETAN MEN'S," an event that recreates the atmosphere of PITTI IMMAGINE UOMO throughout the building. The men's shoes, bags & luggage on the basement floor, the promotion space on the first floor, and select brands on the fifth floor will all be interconnected, creating an enjoyable experience as you explore the different floors.
Furthermore, Fukushima will be in charge of men's shoes, bags, and leather goods, and will be holding the "ISETAN Leather Fair" at the same time, proposing goods along two axes: "a leather fair that delves deep into products" and "a PITTI project that delivers trends."

In this "Adult Field Trip," we'll be recommending items from the "PITTI IMMAGINE UOMO @ ISETAN MEN'S" merchandise category, tailored to each of the three participants.

Ikeuchi | Nylon bags are good, but I also recommend leather bags.

Fukushima chose a leather bag for Ikeuchi, a brand strongly associated with nylon bags, as it would complement a more mature style.
According to Fukushima, during her visit to PITTI in June, she saw many one-handle bags with a tote-like appearance and bags that weren't too large.

"Lightness and softness are its charm" ETiAM 's one-handle bag

First up was ETiAM , a bag brand from Kuramae. Made with soft leather for a lightweight feel, the bags can be carried by hand or over the shoulder depending on how the handles are used. The British Green color presented here is one of the colors available exclusively at the PITTI event at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

Fukushima : This bag is made of soft, lightweight leather, which is a great feature. You can use the handles to carry it by hand or over your shoulder, making it easy to match with your style.

Ikeuchi : It's light. The leather isn't too stiff, and the size is just right. It looks like it can hold more than it looks like it can.



Fukushima : This British Green is a color that will be exclusively available at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

Ikeuchi : It's a deep color, almost black, and it goes well with the dark brown edges. The slight green tint prevents it from looking heavy, even though it's leather, and it seems easy to match with everyday styles.

"Adds a touch of sophistication" - FUJITAKA 's compact leather bag

Next up was the Japanese bag brand FUJITAKA . Like ETiAM , it also exhibits at "PITTI" and is one of the brands that promotes Japanese leather goods.

The model featured this time is a bag made with shrink leather from the German company Weinheimer. Despite its compact size, it has ample storage capacity and can be used as a 2-way bag, either by hand or over the shoulder. Another feature is that its shape naturally changes depending on the amount of luggage inside.

Fukushima : This is a limited edition color that can only be ordered at the "PITTI" exhibition, and we will be offering it as part of a three-color lineup, including this one, as a pre-sale at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .


Ikeuchi : I like this size. It looks compact, but it seems like it can hold a lot of stuff.

Fukushima : It has a high-quality feel characteristic of leather, but the design strikes a good balance between that and being easy to incorporate into everyday use. The top part is designed to naturally indent depending on the amount of luggage inside, showing attention to detail in how it looks when held.


Ikeuchi : It's leather, but it doesn't give off a stiff impression. It has a mature feel to it, and it seems easy to incorporate into everyday style.

"I want to use this for work too" - Felisi one-handle tote

Felisi also introduces a one-handle tote bag made from cowhide (buffalo embossed). With its elegant finish featuring black leather and gold (colored) hardware, it's perfect for business settings.


Ikeuchi : The one-handle tote bag has a spacious interior and looks like it could even fit a laptop. It seems like it would be stylish and practical to carry to work.

Also introduced was a briefcase not yet available in Japan. It's a limited edition item, combining vachetta leather and nylon, with only three pieces available in total: one style in two colors and another style in one color.

Fukushima : I'd also like to suggest a briefcase to Ikeuchi-san. It's a style that's never been available in Japan before, and it's a limited-edition item. Briefcases are something we use less often these days, so I hope people will choose one that they're particular about.

Okada | Even classic loafers can feel fresh with a little twist.

Fukushima, with his deep knowledge of leather shoes, chose loafers, a style frequently seen at "PITTI." He proposes a selection that suits the current mood, ranging from basic styles to models with variations in materials and design.

"Start with the classics" EDWARD GREEN PIMLICO

First up was the "PIMLICO" from EDWARD GREEN , a leading British shoe brand. It's a refined loafer made using the round-toe last "125".
This model, featuring a lining and backing not currently available at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building offers a comfortable firmness and a luxurious feel, and will be released as a pre-sale model for Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building PITTI.

Fukushima : I wanted to recommend a classic, high-quality pair of shoes to Okada-san. This time, it has a lining, making it an even more luxurious pair.

"The lightness and nuance are just right." CROCKETT&JONES JULIAN

Next up was the "JULIAN" kiltie loafer from Crockett & Jones, also a British brand. It features a Vibram foam sole, making it surprisingly lightweight despite its appearance, and its cushioning and the softness of the milled calf leather are also appealing features.

Fukushima : Featuring a distinctive quilted design, these loafers are recommended for those who want a slight twist on a basic loafer. The upper is made of soft milled calf leather, ensuring a comfortable fit.

Okada : These look easy to wear. The kiltie isn't too flashy, it has just the right amount of subtlety.

Fukushima : The balance between lightness and the feel of leather shoes is just right, making them easy to incorporate into everyday styles, and the textured surface makes them easy to maintain, which is another plus.


Okada : These loafers are great because they're a versatile style that can be easily matched with various outfits.

"The appearance changes when the material changes" - LOAKE's elk leather loafers

Furthermore, LOAKE introduces loafers made from deerskin. These shoes, from a British brand with a history of approximately 150 years, are characterized by their softness and supple texture, which differs from cowhide. Even with the familiar shape of a loafer, the impression changes dramatically just by changing the material.

Fukushima : Lastly, we have LOAKE's deerskin loafers. Deerskin is said to be softer and more water-resistant than cowhide. This is also a model that will be available exclusively Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

Okada : It's quite soft. Compared to the Crockett & Jones shoes we had earlier, it has a slightly more substantial feel.


Fukushima : Some people might find the last of this model a little narrow, but using deerskin makes it softer against the foot. The key point is that changing the material changes both the comfort and the overall impression.

Okada : I often see suede and patent leather, but deerskin is a refreshing change. It's interesting to see how much variety there is in loafers.

Tashiro | Not the mainstream, but deliberately unconventional.

Fukushima chose something unusual for Tashiro, who is already familiar with a variety of items, something that he "absolutely doesn't own." From the A LEATHER and TSUCHIYA KABAN collaboration project, which will be held in the 1st floor promotion space, we will introduce some impressive leather items.

"Rugged and rewarding to break in" A LEATHER's trucker jacket

First up was a trucker jacket from A LEATHER. The brand calls this color "vintage black," and as you wear it, the white core of the leather becomes visible... It's a piece that you can enjoy watching age. Its rugged appearance and the strength of the leather really stand out.

Fukushima : I wanted to recommend leather to Tashiro-san that isn't just a standard item, but one that offers the joy of developing a unique character over time.

Tashiro : It's rugged, isn't it? I can smell the leather, and it has quite a presence. You're a buyer of bags and shoes, but you brought a jacket with you.


Fukushima : A LEATHER is a brand with a strong commitment to being purely domestic, using Japanese-made leather, tanning processes, and other materials. We introduced their apparel at this event.

"Nostalgic yet new": TSUCHIYA KABAN's "adult schoolbag"

Next up was TSUCHIYA KABAN's "TSUCHIYA L/AND." This model is essentially an "adult schoolbag," with the handles, shoulder strap length, and interior size redesigned for adults. It's an item that evokes nostalgia for Japanese people and appears fresh overseas, and it attracted attention at "PITTI."

Fukushima : This is an "adult's schoolbag." The handles, strap length, and interior size have been adjusted so that adults can carry it. I chose this because I thought even Tashiro-san probably doesn't have one now.

Tashiro : Yes, I did have one in the past. I don't have one now, though (laughs).


Fukushima : The materials used, such as Italian suede, are carefully chosen to appeal to adults. Apparently, it was popular with international visitors at the PITTI trade show.

Tashiro : It evokes a sense of nostalgia for Japanese people, but it seems fresh to people from overseas. The fact that it's adult-sized is interesting.

"An intriguing design that defies categorization as either a bag or clothing": A LEATHER x TSUCHIYA KABAN collaboration model

The last item to be unveiled was a collaboration model between A LEATHER and TSUCHIYA KABAN. It's an item that combines the aesthetic beauty of A LEATHER's jackets with the schoolbag-making techniques of TSUCHIYA KABAN. With details reminiscent of the sleeves of a rider's jacket and a structure that can actually be used as pockets, it exudes a presence that cannot be definitively classified as either a bag or clothing.


Fukushima : I've brought another item with a real punch. This is one of the most unconventional proposals we've presented so far. It's practical, but its appeal lies in its strong, eye-catching design.

Tashiro : I don't know how to describe this. It's quite unique.

Fukushima : It combines the design of a jacket with the construction of a school bag. The details are also elaborate; the sides are inspired by the sleeves of a rider's jacket, and the flap is not just decorative but can be used as a pocket.


Tashiro : That's interesting. It's not something you see every day, and it's an item that makes you want to see the real thing at an event. It has a real presence, including its weight.

Looking at it from the perspective of something unconventional, it becomes clear that this PITTI project offers not only classic high quality but also the enjoyment of unexpected leather expressions. The proposals from A LEATHER and TSUCHIYA KABAN are filled with Japanese technology, craftsmanship, and a playful spirit that makes you want to stop and take a look.

I'm starting to see what makes "PITTI IMMAGINE UOMO @ ISETAN MEN'S" so interesting!

What became clear through the items we suggested to the three individuals was that this Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building PITTI project was more than just a trend showcase.
For bags, leather, a single handle, and a compact size were key trends. For shoes, while loafers remained popular, there was a general sense of enjoying both basic and unconventional styles. And in leather goods, in addition to classic high quality, unexpected expressions and collaborations were also attracting attention.
While slightly leaning towards dressier styles, this season's sophisticated attire is neither too heavy nor too stiff. You can experience this mood of adult fashion as you stroll through the building at "PITTI IMMAGINE UOMO@ISETAN MEN'S," a PITTI event at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .
Its charm. If you're interested, please come to the store and experience the atmosphere for yourself.
