ABOUT US
High Quality Bags From Tokyo
Our leather goods and bag production was lead by a long history of producing kimono textile goods. Our techniques have been passed down through long generations. Although having effects from reasonably priced products from around the world and Covid-19, we have always been putting focus on keeping the quality and techniques running for decades. By creating a connection between makers and consumers and also creating more business opportunities we aim to take the traditions to a brighter future.

With the support of the Tokyo Chuo Institute since 2021, we have been aiming to revitalize Tokyo’s craftsmanship industry.
By being selected for the Digital Branding Project by the institute’s support program, we have started the East Japan Bag Association Digital Branding Project and created the brand "BAG MAKERS TOKYO" to advertise Tokyo as a place producing high-quality bags and leather goods. Currently we are in the phase of starting to promote the brand.
