Choosing & Using
A full-leather bag with rich character, made to be enjoyed as it ages beautifully over time
A full-leather bag that lets you enjoy the charm of leather to the fullest. Since it's always in contact with your hands whenever you use it, and gets plenty of exposure to sunlight, it softens and molds to your grip the more you use it—giving you pleasure both to touch and to look at, and developing its patina quickly over time. It's a handy piece that adds a nice accent to any outfit.

Thinking About "Fragile Items" (Waremono)
"Fragile—handle with care." Seeing a warning like that can make us feel a bit hesitant, as if the item is somehow dangerous to touch.

A Story About STANDARD SUPPLY's 64 Cloth
64 cloth is a fabric made from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% nylon. Because of that 60:40 ratio, it's called "roku-yon" (six-four) cloth. This time, we're taking a closer look at this material through the bags of "STANDARD SUPPLY."
