$612.00
Description
This versatile tote bag is inspired by vintage document cases and crafted from full vegetable-tanned cow leather sourced from Himeji, Japan. It features VASCO's unique hand-dying method known as "hill dyeing," followed by traditional Kogashi processing to give the leather a vintage-like texture, every piece is 1 of 1 due to these finishings.
The bag secures with a vintage "UNIVERSAL" heavy-duty zipper, ensuring durability and ease of use. Its interior is lined with tough canvas and includes three pockets for organized storage.
Designed primarily as a tote, the upper part of the main body can be folded over into a flap, allowing it to transform in appearance and function. The bag's large capacity is suitable for carrying items as large as A3 documents or a 15-inch laptop. Additionally, it can be converted into a shoulder bag by attaching the included shoulder strap.

Even though Kimura Takuya's endorsement has boosted the popularity of this bag, its exquisite craftsmanship remains the primary reason for its appeal. The dual-purpose bag is packed with meticulous details throughout.
Firstly, only Himeji vegetable-tanned cowhide is selected for the leather. With nearly four centuries of history dating back to the Edo period, Himeji has been a cornerstone of the Japanese leather industry. Traditional techniques such as hand-dyeing and Kogashi (a surface friction heating technique) impart a natural, antique finish to the bag's surface. The leather is then sent to Tokyo for hand-sewing, culminating in a product born from the painstaking efforts of skilled craftsmen.
The "LEATHER NELSON 2WAY BAG" also features a large capacity. It can easily accommodate a 15-inch laptop and A3-sized documents; the thick canvas lining ensures lifelong durability. Additionally, multiple inner pockets are cleverly integrated for conveniently storing small items and daily essentials.
For the hardware, the bag uses zippers from the century-old American brand UNIVERSAL. The brass-colored zipper pullers exude a charming luster, are durable, and operate smoothly, facilitating frequent use with ease.
