■This classic-style shoulder bag is a modern take on vintage European bags.
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 developing a lustrous sheen with use, becoming more supple over time, absorbing dye well, and exhibiting 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 known as “oka-zome,” followed by “kogashi” and oil treatments to create a well-worn, aged look.
In recent years, leather artisans skilled in hand-dyeing have become among the most sought-after in the world, making this a rare and precious craft.
■ The zipper at the opening features a UNIVERSAL zipper with an Old American aesthetic.
■The “B.L.W.” stamp stands for “BAGGAGE LOAD WONDERLUST,” meaning “the desire to pack your bags and wander.”
■The shoulder strap is adjustable in 5 steps, allowing you to customize the length from approximately 96 cm to 106 cm to suit your preference.
■A dedicated drawstring pouch is included.
