Heirloom-Worthy Bags

Designed for Decades of Carrying

At Tsuchiya Kaban, we believe the bags we carry help shape the rhythm of our days. The pieces that remain with us over time become quiet companions that anchor us in a fast-paced world.

Today, we're sharing 3 Tsuchiya Kaban signature collections intentionally designed for decades of carrying: Tone Nume, a long-time bestseller with everyday versatility; Diario, elevated minimalism with luxurious whole-panel leather construction; and TSUCHIYA Legacy, the pinnacle of our heritage leather craftsmanship.

Intentionally crafted to age naturally, absorbing the traces of the life they accompany, these collections grow more beautiful and meaningful over time—an evolution that guides our commitment to timeless design and enduring quality over fleeting trends. From material sourcing and rigorous testing to construction, finishing, and final inspection, every step of our process reflects this commitment.

We hope these timeless, enduring pieces bring everyday ease and style for years to come, and perhaps even across generations.

Tone Nume Collection

A long-time favorite now almost synonymous with Tsuchiya Kaban among fans, this collection is crafted from our original signature Tone Nume leather, developed 20 years ago. The highlight of this vegetable-tanned collection is the incredibly soft touch and gorgeous natural grain texture.

Meticulously infused with plenty of oil, each piece is exceptionally soft and supple, molding comfortably to your shape and movements from the moment you start using it. Developing depth and character over time, it's an ideal companion for daily life.

Diario Collection

Inspired by the idea of a “diary,” the Diario Collection celebrates the beauty of everyday moments. Minimalist and sleek, yet offering steady companionship, each piece highlights the smooth, lustrous leather’s natural warmth as it absorbs your life’s stories.

With luxurious whole-panel construction and delicate stitching, Diario pieces showcase the inherent beauty of the leather itself, as it evolves gracefully with daily use.

TSUCHIYA Legacy Collection

Crafted from premium Italian leather and embossed with an intricate geometric “T” pattern, this collection represents the pinnacle of our artisanal mastery and creative expression. The supple yet structured leather offers rich texture and deepening patina, providing tactile warmth to the sleek design.

The embossed pattern interacts beautifully with light, elevating both everyday and formal looks, and embodying Tsuchiya Kaban’s commitment to heirloom-worthy craftsmanship.
