Light shoulder bag

With a hint of a drawstring bag that you can carry with you to carry small items and personal items from ancient Japan and carry them around with you, it's designed with a simple design that fits your current outfit, and it's made from one piece of leather that gives you a feeling of attachment. From the ARTS & CRAFTS “VEGETABLE HORSE LEATHER” series, a lightweight shoulder bag that makes use of the lightness of horse leather has arrived. It's a good idea to use a bag that has a strong presence to insist on the small amount of luggage and simple clothes these days, but a light bag that blends in with your style may be just right.

Leveraging the lightness of horse leather

The first thing that surprises you when you pick it up is its lightness, which is a characteristic of horse leather. In addition, horse leather is inferior in thickness and toughness to cow leather, but it has the charm of being light and soft and easy to fit in your hand. I am using the horse leather of Tanner A. CASTRO & FILHOS (Castro Firjos) founded in 1944 in San Juan da Madeira near Porto, the second largest city in Portugal. In a factory that consistently makes from tanning to finishing using horsehide of Central Europe, the horse leather used this time is a little rubbed with friction heat after tanning full vegetable tannins with animal oil and wax during dyeing. It has been burnished to give it a burned finish. This is also called scorching, which is often used as a finish for the uppers of western boots and casual shoes, and it gives a matte and deep look that does not stand out too much in everyday wear.

VEGETABLE HORSE LEATHER DRAW STRINGS SHOULDER is a drawstring bag with a simple A4 flat type size design. A long string is squeezed on one side, a small carabiner attached to the end of the string is connected to the eyelet metal fittings of the main body, and it is a design that you can carry on your back in front of your body with diagonal crossing. To adjust the cord, squeeze it at an appropriate length and tie the cord. The body is as simple as a shopper's shopper. As a slightly larger shoulder bag that you can carry your valuables in a compact size, such as your wallet, passport, or cell phone, it can be used diagonally when riding on a bicycle.

"A 100-year-old monocot"

ARTS & CRAFTS (Arts & Crafts), which is based on the concept of "a thing that lasts 100 years", reflects the thoughts of thinkers, creators, and users, and creates things that can be used for a long time, and that continues to be the things that are handed down. ). For those of William Morris in the 19th century who wanted to match life with art, thinking that a bag that can be used for a long time is more beneficial than a trendy one in terms of things, creators, users, and any position. I incorporated the idea of ​​beauty into making bags.
