Tsuchiya Kaban
Do you remember the iconic Japan backpack in anime? Yes, that is the Randoseru backpack, and no company makes it better than Japan's Tsuchiya Kaban.
At Tsuchiya Kaban, they preserve the traditional Randoseru and honor craftsmanship. In fact, every single backpack at Tsuchiya Kaban is made by the hand of a skilled craftsman, designed by talented artists, with the inspection of qualified technicians and modern materials. One of the breakthroughs is the use of waterproof leather because, traditionally, it is almost impossible for leather to be waterproof. With that at the heart of the factory, Tsuchiya Kaban has become one of the top leather goods brands in Japan.
Tsuchiya Kaban approaches backpacks with a minimalistic design. They let the leather and the usefulness stand out for themselves, as very few products on the market could meet the quality of the Tsuchiya Kaban backpack. In Japan, children mostly wear the Randoseru for the first 6 years of elementary school, and due to the iconic design, many people still continue to use the Randoseru onward. Thus, the Tsuchiya Kaban backpack is meant to be used for a lifetime, with 8 different lengths of adjustable shoulder straps, excellent breathability, and a soft back pad that is perfect for any age.
Behind Tsuchiya Kaban's success is Kunio Tsuchiya, the founder, master, and mentor of Japan's craftsmen. He is one of the few contemporary master craftsmen, and he was awarded the Japan Leather Goods Meister title. Back in 1965, when he was 27, he branched out on his own to create the nowadays renowned Tsuchiya Kaban. There are 17 Tsuchiya Kaban stores in Japan and three locations outside of Japan, but they always have to deal with worldwide demand.
Certainly one of the most popular Japanese backpack brands, Tsuchiya Kaban and its backpacks are one of a kind, constantly innovating and perfecting leathercraft.
