Native Crafts Long Tote Bag

The inspiration for this series came from ancient artifacts our brand owner, Fukatani, encountered in a museum. The sculptural beauty created by people pouring passion and effort into their work in an era without machines or electricity. Moved by their overwhelming presence, he created this collection with the desire to “give form to the power of craftsmanship.”

Carefully selected leather is cut piece by piece, and the edges are beautifully finished with smooth burnishing. Holes are then punched in the pieces, which are woven together with finely cut leather cords—every step is crafted by hand by skilled artisans. As an homage to the craftspeople of long ago who devoted their hearts and souls to their work, and to carry their spirit forward into the future.

The Native Crafts tote bag features a minimalist design composed of just two patterns. The unique silhouette created by assembling the bag with saddle-stitched leather cords and the hand-painted edges, finished one by one by artisans, add an elegant touch. While its details are distinctive, the minimalist design maintains an elegant impression, making it a versatile piece suitable for both formal and casual occasions. Unlike conventional Native Crafts tote bags, its taller shape makes it easy to store and retrieve items such as plastic bottles and umbrellas.
