VASCO products are characterized by the warmth and meticulous craftsmanship of handwork—something that cannot be achieved through outsourcing—as nearly every step of the process, from hand-dyeing the leather to sewing and embossing, is carried out in the company’s own atelier.
The meticulous attention to detail and high level of craftsmanship that only our in-house artisans can provide are second to none among the many bag brands available.
■This classic-looking shoulder bag is a modern take on a vintage European design.
The leather used is vegetable-tanned leather from Himeji, a region renowned for its leather production.Vegetable-tanned leather is produced using a method in which the leather is tanned exclusively with plant-based tannins.
It is characterized by a lustrous sheen that develops with use, a soft, supple feel, excellent dye absorption, and vibrant color.
Although this production method is extremely labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient, it maximizes the inherent qualities of the material.
Furthermore, it features a “vintage finish”—achieved by first applying a traditional hand-dyeing technique called “Oka-zome,” followed by “kogashi” treatment and oil finishing to create a well-worn look.
In recent years, leather artisans with the skill to hand-dye have become among the world’s rarest, making this a highly exclusive production method.
■ The zipper at the opening features an “Old American”-style UNIVERSAL zipper.
■The “B.L.W.” stamp stands for “BAGGAGE LOAD WONDERLUST,” meaning “the desire to pack your bags and wander.”
■The shoulder strap is adjustable to 5 different lengths, ranging from approximately 96 cm to 106 cm to suit your preference.
■A dedicated drawstring pouch is included.
■The product images show the bag in the olive color variant.
