We added three leather bags. These bags are handmade by a craftsman named Shitata-san. I got to know him through an introduction by a tenugui factory manager. Shitata-san live in Sendai city (where a huge earthquake hit in March 2011), and his concept is to manufacture leather bags incorporated with Japanese traditional fabric such as Kimono obi (silk belt) and furoshiki wrapping cloth.
Shibata-san's carrier is unique. He once belonged to Japan air force as a pilot, and then worked for Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. as a helicopter test pilot. He has been creating leather bags off work as an armature. Recently he turns into professional bag craftsman.
These bags are quite unique, beautiful and eye-catching!
