Native Crafts Long Tote Bag

The inspiration for the series came from the ancient crafts that our brand owner, Fukaya, saw at a museum. In an age without machines or electricity, people poured their passion and effort into creating beautiful forms. Struck by their overwhelming presence, this collection was born from the desire to "give form to the power of handwork."

Each piece of carefully selected leather is carefully cut, and then edge treatment is applied to create a beautiful, smooth cross section. Next, holes are drilled into the parts, and they are braided together with thinly cut leather cords. All of these processes are completed by hand by our artisans. This is a tribute to our predecessors who poured their hearts and souls into craftsmanship long ago, and to carry on that spirit and continue it into the future.

The Native Crafts tote bag boasts a minimalist design, constructed using only two patterns. The unique silhouette, created by assembling the leather straps with a wave stitch, and the edges, which are individually hand-painted by artisans, create an elegant look. While the details are unique, the minimalist design maintains a refined impression, making it a versatile item suitable for both formal and casual occasions. Unlike traditional Native Crafts tote bags, this bag is vertically long, allowing for easy access to items such as water bottles and umbrellas.
