NEW LOOK

In 2023 Tsuchiya Kaban decided that, after 50 years of selling exclusively in Japan, they were ready to share their brand with audiences all over the world. To mark this next phase they were inspired to create a new brand identity, starting with an updated logo in both English and Japanese.

"Tsuchiya" is named after the founder, who is still active in the company today. "Kaban" is the Japanese word for bag and it's pronounced like this "Tsoo-chie-yah Kah-Bahn".

We also chose a new signature color, "Tsuchiya Blue" inspired by Japanese Indigo, or Aizome. Our new brand identity pays respect to our heritage and also symbolizes our excitement about the future.
