Keep it long, treasure it long.

A horse leather drawstring shoulder bag you'll want to carry every day.

The classic series of drawstring bags from ARTS&CRAFTS showcases the lightweight nature of horse leather. Among them, the HORSE LEATHER DRAWSTRINGS WIDE SHOULDER features a wide design that easily accommodates long wallets, drinks, and other elongated items, making it a highly practical choice. Its lightweight construction allows for comfortable crossbody wear, making it an excellent option for travel.

Utilizing the Lightness of Horse Leather

The first thing that surprises you when you pick it up is its lightness. Horse leather is one of the lightest types of leather, reportedly about 30% lighter than cowhide of the same size. The main body is made from horse leather sourced from Himeji's Shinki Leather, famous for its cordovan. The front part, made from horse front leather, is derived from the leather of the horse's hindquarters and is tanned using vegetable tannins. The surface is finished with dye and lightly ironed to achieve a moderate sheen and transparency, maintaining its lightness without the use of oils. This leather has a dense fiber structure, resulting in sharp cut edges, which provides both flexibility and excellent breathability. The thin leather round cord of the shoulder strap is made from the same leather, sliced to a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5mm, with acrylic thread as the core, sewn together into a tubular shape. By keeping the cord made from the same material, it creates a cohesive and elegant impression.

The HORSE LEATHER DRAWSTRINGS WIDE SHOULDER is designed to be a wider and thinner version of the HORSE LEATHER DRAW STRING POUCH M (drawstring shoulder bag). It offers ample space for those who prefer long wallets or need to carry bottles or handheld fans during the summer. Although the thin strap gives a delicate impression, the HORSE LEATHER DRAWSTRINGS WIDE SHOULDER comes with a shoulder pad made from the same material, ensuring comfort even when carrying heavier items. Its understated and simple design makes it easy to pair with any outfit, regardless of gender.

"Creating Things that Last for 100 Years"

With the concept of "Creating Things that Last for 100 Years," ARTS&CRAFTS connects the thoughts of thinkers, makers, and users to create products that can be used for a long time and continue to be passed down through generations. They believe that bags that can be used for a long time are beneficial from the perspectives of the product, the maker, and the user, and they have incorporated the philosophy of beauty in utility from the 19th-century William Morris, who sought to harmonize life and art, into their bag-making.

ARTS&CRAFTS actively engages in environmentally conscious manufacturing processes and social contribution activities with local communities, alongside creating products that embody modern usability and beauty in utility.

Even if the design is not flashy, it feels just right in your hands and blends seamlessly into your life, making you want to use it every day. The products from ARTS&CRAFTS possess such an endearing charm. As handcrafted items require considerable effort, the brand's products are made with love and are meant to be cherished and used for a long time.
