Historia mody
Founded in 1965 by Kunio Tsuchiya in Tokyo, the company began as a small workshop producing randoseru, the traditional firm-sided backpacks used by Japanese elementary students. This origin established the brand’s focus on structural durability. Over decades, the workshop transitioned from school gear to a range of adult leather accessories. Its significance lies in maintaining hand-stitched techniques within a modern industrial context, contributing to the history of Japanese leathercraft.
