Spice-like bag

When choosing a bag, we often only consider its storage capacity and shape, but if you plan to use it for a long time, comfort is also an important consideration. The texture in your hand, the lightness when slung over your shoulder, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing the color will stay consistent and match your style—all of these factors contribute to a daily desire to return to your bag.

We're introducing a new leather bag with a metallic color finish. It's made from LUSTRA, a material with distinctive features different from the classic HALLIE. It suppresses the uneven color and grain of pigskin leather, achieving both beautiful color and durability. It's stain-resistant and fade-resistant, so you can wear it without hesitation. The elegant metallic color is a great accent piece for any outfit. It's a versatile color that can be worn any season.

Easy-to-use size, striking metallic color

This rejibukuro is inspired by the familiar shopping bag motif. The familiar shape is given a different feel from your average leather bag by using leather, giving it a pop vibe. It's the perfect size for carrying essentials when walking or traveling, or as a handy secondary bag for emergencies.

The LUSTRA Mini Register Bag, as its name suggests, has a foldable gusset like a plastic shopping bag, so it can hold thicker items. It's large enough to fit a 500ml PET bottle or A5-sized items, making it convenient for carrying just the essentials like a long wallet, handkerchief, and key case. When empty, it lies flat, so you can fold it up like a real plastic bag and carry it as a secondary bag. While secondary bags are often made of nylon or simple materials, a leather secondary bag can be used without hesitation in more formal settings.

LUSTRA: A New Approach to Pigskin Leather

LUSTRA is leather crafted by a trusted tanner in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, with whom REN has a long-standing relationship. A pigment treatment on the surface of the pigskin creates a smooth, silky texture. The pigment finish forms a film on the leather's surface, resulting in a uniform color and high durability. It also reduces the appearance of pores, grain, and color unevenness characteristic of pigskin, resulting in less aging than standard leather. Enjoy the beautiful color for years to come while also being stain-resistant, making it ideal for everyday use.

HALLIE, REN's standard material, preserves the natural look and texture of pigskin. The scars and color unevenness from the animal's life are also part of the material's unique character. Meanwhile, LUSTRA offers a different approach to pigskin leather. While this advantage comes at the expense of less natural leather texture, its beautiful color and smooth texture complement everyday outfits in a different way than the HALLIE bag.

The unique LUSTRA mini cash register bag resembles a soft leather bag hanging from a dangling bag. The subtle metallic color makes it versatile, perfect for a wide range of occasions, from casual to sophisticated.

Creating a New Standard

REN, based in Tokyo's Kuramae atelier, values ​​a consistent concept, with the designer personally selecting materials, creating patterns, and crafting prototypes. The brand was launched in 2005 with the intention of setting a new standard, adopting a clear, unconventional name. Scratches, uneven coloring, and wrinkles on leather are all signs of its naturalness, and the company makes use of these to create products. It values ​​the ability to fully appreciate the leather's natural texture, as the product is finished without undergoing final processes such as polishing or pigment application. While carefully examining the characteristics of the material, the company develops simple, timeless designs that pursue textures that match clothing and shapes that fit the body. The natural feel of the leather is utilized, while also possessing a modern atmosphere, creating an appealing, relaxed fashion sense.
