About Cowhide

Cordovan

The leather lies in its intoxicatingly soft luster and silky smooth touch. It is a premium leather tanned from the under hide of the horse rump.

About Cordvan

CLARINO®️ F

This leather is known for being light and soft so it easily fits to the body from the first use while also remaining durable.

About CLARINO®️ F
Long-lasting durability

Even after using for a long time, the core material in the box-shaped sides has a double structure of resin and sponge glued together. This allows it to absorb impacts well and maintain its beautiful boxy shape for many years. The durability of the straps, which are prone to wearing out, is ensured in ways such as reinforcing with layers of leather hand stitching.

Combines breathability and flexibility

Designed to conform to the body and reduce load, the U-shaped padding that comes into contact with the back allows for the passage of air and prevents heat from building up, making it comfortable to carry on the back.

Strong against water and easy to care for

Waterproof leather is used so you don't have to worry about rain and can clean it a wet cloth.

Thoughtfully Compartmentalized

More storage than meets the eye to hold tablets, notebooks, bottles, and more, all while keeping its boxy shape. There are also gusseted compartments and zippered pockets, useful for holding phones, wallets, and accessories.

Have fun customizing it your own way

Photos can be filed away in the back of the flap or pockets. It also has hooks on the left and right so you can enjoy decorating it as you like with scarves or key chains.

Great quality and craftsmanship.

Dear Nikos,

Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are delighted to hear that you are pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of your Randoseru Cowhide.

As a brand that began its journey crafting the Randoseru, this signature bag holds a very special place in our hearts. Our artisans pour incredible care into every stitch to ensure it combines timeless beauty with long-lasting durability, and knowing that its quality stood out to you means the world to us.

Fantastic quality, exceeded my expectation. Theres a reason these people are master craftsmen.

Too expensive for the quality

Too expensive for the quality. Straps too short for adults. Cute though. Would not recommend at this price point.

Thank you so much for sharing your honest thoughts with us. While we are glad that you appreciate the charm of the design, we sincerely regret that the fit and overall value did not meet your expectations.

You make a very fair point regarding the straps. Because our traditional Randoseru are structurally designed to support a child's growing frame over six years of school, the classic proportions can indeed feel quite restrictive for an adult.

The price of our bags reflects the uncompromising dedication of our workshop. Each Randoseru is shaped through hundreds of meticulous steps using carefully selected cowhide, ensuring a resilience that gracefully withstands the test of time. It is this enduring quality that our artisans take great pride in bringing to life.

We understand that comfort and value are deeply personal. Even though it has been some time since your purchase, we hope its beautiful silhouette still brings a touch of joy to your space.

Warmest regards,
Maki, Customer Support Team

this is a high quality leather backpack, great

this is a high quality leather backpack, great for school or for work.

Dear Tore,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing our Randoseru Cowhide.

To hear that you appreciate the high quality of the leather means a great deal to our artisans at the workshop. We are especially delighted that you find the bag versatile enough for both school and work. While the Randoseru holds a cherished place as a traditional Japanese school bag, its clean, structured silhouette makes it a truly distinctive and elegant companion for the workplace as well.

Because each piece is meticulously handcrafted from premium cowhide designed for exceptional durability, it is wonderfully suited for the demands of a daily commute. While the leather will gently soften and adapt to your shoulders for a comfortable fit, it is thoughtfully crafted to maintain its pristine, beautiful finish over the years, ensuring it continues to look sharp and professional day after day.

Should you ever need any advice on caring for your bag, please always feel free to reach out to us.

Warm regards,
Maki

Great backpack in brown!

I bought in dark brown. I prefer the metal hook over the newer leather hook. Pigskin lining is really nice. The straps are a bit too short for wearing on back for an average adult. I found 1 inch kilt extenders that perfectly add an extra 5 inches to the straps making wearing on back comfortable.

Excellent quality leather! Very roomy. Straps too short for an adult but works as a single shoulder backpack. Great for traveling. Love this bag!!!
