― OUR STUDIO
All wallets, bags, and accessories are handmade at our studio
in Yamashina, Kyoto.
Each item is sewn with care and intended to become a part of your daily story.
All it takes is an artisan, the leather, and the faithful tools of the trade.
Our oldest sewing machine dates to 1860. It still works today.
We make things that last. Things that age beautifully.
Things worth keeping.

Craftsmanship you can feel the moment it’s in your hands.
Come experience our craft in person next time you’re in Kyoto.
