Commitment to "sewing"

God is in the details. A premium bag with attention to detail.

An "All Made in Japan" bag, made by the Japanese, for the Japanese. Made with "Kaminoito®", a natural material developed in Shimane, the land of mythology, and the traditional dyeing technique of "Edo Komon®", using the skilled techniques of bag craftsmen. A culmination of world-class craftsmanship and exquisite techniques. That is the "K-iwami" bag.

They are the masters behind the scenes of bag making.

I am in charge of cutting the lining before sewing and meticulous checks and corrections at the finishing stage of the bag. Corrections at the final stage are so important that they can be said to breathe life into the product.
