Tsuchiya Kaban's new "Shinome" series features lightweight everyday items that let you appreciate the natural character of the leather.

When it comes to leather bags, people tend to feel a bit intimidated. The new “Shinome” series from TSUCHIYA KABAN defies that image in the best possible way.

“Shinome” is a new line consisting of 12 styles in total—3 bag styles and 9 leather accessories. It combines simple, streamlined shapes with combination-tanned cowhide, aiming for practicality that seamlessly fits into everyday life. It looks polished without feeling too stiff—a balance that seems just right.

The primary material used is Calm Grain leather, which has been embossed and then blind-stamped. It retains a natural leather appearance while featuring a subtly textured finish. The more you use it, the more you’ll appreciate the nuances of the material.

It comes in three colors: black, oak beige, and peacock blue. The peacock blue, in particular, is a deep shade that falls somewhere between blue and green. The fact that the design doesn’t stop at just basic black adds a touch of playfulness.
