The perfect travel companion, Tsuchiya Kaban’s “Roadster” is an elegantly minimal weekender, hand-crafted from premium “Vintage Wax” cowhide leather. Chrome-tanned, veg-tanned, and then drum-rolled in beeswax before being hand-dried, this leather boasts outstanding depth and A smoky character from the outset. Over time, it will mature to remarkable suppleness, darkening to develop a rich, wine-like patina.
Tsuchiya Kaban’s bags are a true celebration of the hide itself. Natural creases, scratches, scars, and striations are honoured as points of pride, preserved to ensure that each bag is truly one of a kind.
Beyond its beauty, the “Roadster” offers exceptional functionality. This weekender is spacious enough for all your leisure, work, and travel essentials, accommodating laptops, tablets, gym gear, and other bits and bobs with ease. A soft cotton lining safeguards your belongings and the bag’s interior. Outer zip and slash pockets, positioned above the main compartment zipper, offer quick access to your phone and wallet. Interior pockets and a D-ring add extra security when needed. Generous leather handles allow for easy handholding and shoulder slinging, moulding over time to the contours of the user’s grip for bespoke comfort.
