The founder of vasco was originally a buyer of used clothing. However, while vintage items are very attractive and very popular, their numbers and restorations are limited. Meanwhile, he started making things by himself, hoping to convey the charm of vintage to as many people as possible.

Traveling through time, vasco manufacturing

vasco is a brand that creates bags and small leather goods under the concept of "travel tools". We are creating heavy-duty items that do not lose their brilliance over time, with the meaning of "things that will remain even after being weeded out" in the travel tools that are also the concept.
Manufacturing is based in Higashinakano, Tokyo. Creating an original space by completely renovating an old building with your own hands. It teaches us the charm of being one with space and manufacturing.

The craftsman of vasco has a certain skill and sense, and does not the assembly line work, but the whole process from patterning to sewing and finishing by himself. This is why you can feel the brand's strong commitment to even the smallest nuances. The cowhide material is finished with a vintage-like taste by a traditional technique called "hill dyeing". Hill dyeing is a technique that was born in the Santa Croce region of Italy in the 19th century, and its vintage-like shades of color and aging are attractive. Leather has become extremely rare. Although the number of craftsmen who can do hand dyeing is small, it is also a technique that vasco has inherited since the brand was established. After dyeing, it is carefully polished using a puff machine, and is carefully sewn, beaten, and finished.
