The warmth of handcraft resides in the pared-down beauty
The Native Crafts series was started when Hidetaka Fukaya, the founder of il micio, was impressed by ancient crafts he saw at a museum and wanted to "give form to the power of handicrafts." It is the beauty of form created by people pouring their passion and effort into them in an era without electricity or machines. The Native Crafts series was born as a collection that conveys the warmth and skill of handicrafts everywhere, with respect for our predecessors in craftsmanship and a vow to pass it on to the future.
From selecting the leather to cutting, finishing the edges, drilling holes in the parts, and lacing.... Because it is a simple bag, every process is done carefully and with the craftsman's passion. In this way, the bag is created with the pride of handwork and the warmth of the craftsman, contained in the beauty of the pared-down. You will be able to feel the timeless appeal that is not influenced by trends from the bag, which fits in with the daily life of the user and allows you to simply enjoy the charm of high-quality leather.
Looking inside, you can see the beautiful edge finishing and the hand-stitched details, and experience the careful work that can only be done by hand. The lining is made of Alcantara, making it both beautiful and practical. This tote bag is truly one that allows you to simply enjoy the finest leather and the craftsmanship of artisans.
