Chari-Happo Leather

Goatskin (Chari-Happo Leather)

Distinctive and Durable—Heritage Japanese Leather

Chari-Happo Leather is a Japanese heritage leather crafted from high-quality goatskin, tanned with plant-based tannins, and dyed with chemical dyes. Meticulously hand-massaged from multiple directions, it features a distinctive texture, luxurious sheen, and durable, resilient grain.

Originally developed under the guidance of international experts in the early Meiji period(late 19th century), Chari-Happo Leather evolved into a unique Japanese specialty with rich texture and historical significance. Discover this heritage leather with our Chari-Happo collection: a blend of traditional craft and modern design.

The Look of Natural Leather

We have chosen to keep natural markings such as scars, wrinkles, veins, and pores on the cowhide to showcase the natural appearance of the leather in our products. This is one of the most distinctive features of our bags. The appearance of the leather will vary depending on the part of the hide and individual differences between animals. Through careful observation, you will uncover your leather product's unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.
