In their corner of Nakameguro, where contemporary Tokyo meets classic downtown charm, the Kanchan family welcome the highlight of their year—a holiday season immersed in family connection and joyful traditions. Between running their restaurant ADI and tea house Chiyaba, Adhikari, Asumi, and their daughter Asa live a busy modern life—but the holiday season brings a change of pace, and treasured opportunities to connect with an important part of their heritage.

Asa’s birth during the auspicious days of Dashain has made the celebrations even more meaningful. Adhikari fondly talks about whipping up traditional treats like sel roti (a spiced, deep-fried rice batter) and sending out family invitations to prepare for the celebrations—joyful, cozy rituals he now shares with his young family.

Back in Tokyo, our leather pieces are woven into everyday life as the family builds new traditions within the bustling urban landscape.

The Tone Nume Backpack—a timeless design crafted to showcase the evolving beauty of leather—becomes uniquely personal over time as it accompanies Adhikari through his daily routines. The classic drawstring top lends a touch of vintage charm, while the wide opening and spacious interior provide the practicality suited for an urban lifestyle.

Asumi carries the Diario Small Shoulder—a tastefully functional design that seamlessly complements ADI’s thoughtfully curated interior. From the delicate stitching to the subtle gusset, its every detail mirrors the care they invest in their space and the carefully sourced Himalayan teas they offer.
