Factory Tour
We invite you to join us for an unforgettable factory tour experience that goes well beyond merely observing from a distance. You may have come across numerous brands that claim to prioritize craftsmanship and honor craftsmen, but have you ever had the chance to truly see and verify the manufacturing process with your own eyes? Do you know where your bags come from and who meticulously crafted them? We take pride in welcoming you to our factory, confident that there is nothing we need to hide.
During this immersive tour, you will step into the world of Japanese craftsmanship, where you can witness firsthand the intricate techniques and dedication that go into creating each product. You'll gain a deeper understanding of the artistry involved and the passion that drives our skilled craftsmen.
After exploring the factory, we offer you the unique opportunity to try your hand at leathercraft, allowing you to engage directly with the materials and processes that shape our products. This hands-on experience not only enriches your visit but also gives you a sense of accomplishment as you create something of your own.
Additionally, you’ll have the chance to shop for the very products you’ve seen being crafted, making your experience even more personal and meaningful. We invite you to enjoy this unique and engaging experience that brings you closer to the artistry behind our products and helps you appreciate the craftsmanship in a whole new light. Join us for a day that celebrates tradition, creativity, and the beauty of handmade artistry!
