.urukust Leather Shoulder Bag S Brown

€415.00​

A sublime all-leather shoulder bag entirely handcrafted by the designer in Yokohama, Japan. 

Yasue Tsuchihira personally selects the hides that are used to make these exquisite creations. Due to the laborious manufacturing process (entirely by hand), only a very limited number of these bags are made each year. 

The design brief for this model was to create a bag which was extremely comfortable to carry, supple and as lightweight as possible, made from carefully selected materials offering an agreeable tactile experience and made using as little metal as possible.  Aesthetically speaking, these beautiful bags are a model of carefully thought out simplicity, typical of .urukust designs.

The extremely high quality leather used for the main part of the bag feels chunky and very supple, the hides selected by Tsuchihira-san also offer interesting textures which enhance the bag's appearance.

There is no other layer between the leather shell and the lovely pure linen lining to ensure that the bag remains supple.

The well-dimensioned shoulder strap is just the right width to help spread the load comfortably without being bulky. Made from a different leather to the main body which is more adapted to use on a strap, it is also dyed in a subtly contrasting colour which matches the rest of the bag beautifully.

The inner lining is made from a pleasantly tactile pure linen (one of .urukust's signature materials) and includes a large secure zipped pocket and 2 smaller ones on the opposite side.

This .urukust Leather Shoulder Bag is one of the most beautiful bags we have ever seen, it is a real privilege for us to be able to offer them in our store.

• Material：kip leather / cow leather, pure linen (lining), brass (rivets, zipper).
• Size: size: h26 x w35 x d6cm
• Inside pockets: One large zipped, 2 smaller open ones
• Closure: brass zip
• Handmade in Japan
• This item qualifies for worldwide free shipping.

About .Urukust leather:
All of their leather is natural. As a result, it has varying textures and may have slight blemishes, unevenness of color, or wrinkles.

Product Care:
All leather used in their products is processed without pigments in order to feature the genuine leather's character, without hiding natural blemishes and color variation.

Please note that it tends to stain with water or sweat and may discolour. When it comes into contact with water, wipe it off with a dry, soft cloth immediately and air dry. When a water stain lingers, wet a soft cloth, wring out excess moisture, and gently wipe around the stain to make it less noticeable.

Minor scratches will become unnoticeable with use. You can apply an appropriate amount of leather cream if you like. It's not necessary to apply excessive oil since our leather already contains plenty. Only when the surface looks dry, apply leather cream. Wiping it off with a dry, soft cloth is sufficient as daily maintenance.

Smith's Leather Balm (1oz tin)

€8.00​

Treat the leather fittings of your canvas and leather bags with this balm made in the USA from pure natural ingredients to increase their longevity and beauty.

Note: Smith's Leather Balm is recommended for smooth leathers, such as the Japanese Tochigi leather used in Superior Labor Engineer Bag straps and pockets or the leather straps on the  Peg and Awl waxed canvas range. The Balm is also recommended for leather boots.

We tested Smith's Leather Balm on a 2-year old The Superior Labor Engineer Tote Bag on which the leather straps were beginning to get a bit dry. Read our blog article for details.

Smith's are justifiably proud of their recipe.

Every batch of Smith’s Leather balm is handmade in Maine from 3 all-natural ingredients.

1. 100% organic cocoa butter.

Organic cocoa butter is not commonly used in leather treatment due to it’s high cost.

It has become one of the most highly sought after ingredients in natural cosmetic supplies and skin conditioners.

Cocoa butter is rich in vitamin E and contains natural antioxidants that help fight premature ageing and deterioration.

2. 100% organic beeswax.

Organic beeswax is safer and more effective than other barrier creams like petroleum jelly which contain harmful chemicals that can damage stitching.

It acts as a natural waterproofer, sealing the leather and protecting it from harsh elements.

In addition, beeswax functions as a moisturizer, softening stiff, rigid leather.

3. 100% pure sweet almond oil.

Pure sweet almond oil is rich in vitamins A, E and B. It’s a preferred ingredient in natural health and beauty products.

It’s hypoallergenic and safer than less expensive alternatives. It has many wonderful health benefits and works to improve the overall look and feel of leather goods.

No animal fats, synthetic compounds, preservatives or petroleum based products.Just the safest, highest quality natural ingredients. 

Neutral colour.

Application:

1. Make sure that your leather is clean and dry

2. apply sparingly using either your hands (the warmth will help spread the balm and the balm will nourish your skin) or a soft cloth or paper towel.

3. Let the balm saturate the leather and dry for 5-10 minutes.

4. Buff with a soft cloth or paper towel.

Note: the leather may darken slightly, this will be minimised if you apply the balm sparingly.

Marineday Fourship Linen Canvas Shoulder Bag (Natural)

€160.00​

A very cleverly-designed, classic-looking shoulder bag from Kobe, Japan.

Fourship is a compact and lightweight shoulder bag, which is slightly larger than the popular Airship Bag. The leather strap is long enough to be worn crossbody but can be easily adjusted. See the Shipfly model for a different version of this bag with a shorter, fixed strap.

Just like Airship, Fourship is a two-way bag, in the sense that just like the rest of the Marineday range, it can also be carried by hand. The 82 cm long shoulder strap can be easily unbuckled and connected to a brass ringed hole on the edge of the bag opening. This shortens the strap to handle length. The remaining half of the strap is simply stored in the bag. 

The bag is lightweight despite being made from robust materials. Sized for portability, the design offers sufficient volume to be practical and a surprising number of storage options. 

From a style perspective, the bag is casual but timelessly elegant in a very Japanese way and available in linen canvas and 3 colours.

Characteristics:

• Dimensions (approx.): W42cm x H25cm x D11cm
• Shoulder strap length (extended): approx. 100 cm.
• Materials: 100% linen, genuine leather
• Made in Japan
• 3 colours available (linen canvas)

All quoted prices include 21% VAT, excluding shipping (see our shipping page for costs). Please contact us for further details on VAT deduction and check out point 13 of our FAQ if you are based outside the European Union.
