Pink Martini’s Thomas Lauderdale, who has been using a Randoseru for 17 years, had an idea when he saw Tsuchiya's artisanal Randoseru and other bags for the first time. “I really want my friends and family to experience these unique leather bags too!" So, we helped him host a try-on party at his downtown flat in Portland. We brought all our favorite bags, turned on some Pink Martini and took some great photos of him and his friends, just having fun!
“Fits on my back perfectly and is easy to move in. I was amazed to learn this bag is waterproof! We want to wear these together, Thomas in red and me in black.”
“The minimal design lets the materials and functionality take center stage, I can appreciate that.”
“Lightweight, sharp, and hip! I like the weekly schedule inside the flap, it’s transporting me to 1960s Japan.” Molly
“I’m drawn to the soft padding on the back, I love that consideration of comfort.” Paul
