Mini shoulder bag made of natural Ezo deer leather

A lifelong mini shoulder bag made from the finest Ezo deer leather in Hokkaido Japan.
We poured our hearts into creating this bag, hoping it would be cherished for 30 years and then passed down to children.
Its simple and understated design makes it easy to match with both formal and casual outfits, suitable for both men and women.

Deer are wild animals that live in the forest. They may get scratches on their bodies from rubbing against trees or fighting with other deer.
These scars, which are proof that this deer leather bag was raised in nature, give it a unique and distinctive character.

Wrinkles, sagging, scratches, blood vessels, and pores all appear as natural marks.
Please enjoy the scratches as part of the leather's character.

In addition, because it is natural Ezo deer leather, each piece has a different shape and grain pattern. Because everything from hunting to processing is done by skilled Japanese craftsmen, we can finish such flavorful leather into a beautiful single piece.

The elegant Ezo deer leather, which you will surely want to show off, will develop more flavor and depth the more you use it, transforming into your own unique texture.

Because it is natural, no two pieces are exactly alike.
Please enjoy it as "your lifelong companion" for many years to come.

Overwhelmingly soft, light, and strong

Deer leather has overwhelmingly finer fibers than other leathers, and these fibers are intricately intertwined with collagen.
This prevents oil from escaping, allowing it to constantly maintain a moist, skin-like texture.
It also doesn't stiffen and remains soft.

While other leathers can harden or crack if not cared for, deer leather has no such concerns and maintains the same condition indefinitely.

Deer leather products stored in the Shosoin treasure house have maintained their excellent condition for 1300 years without fading.
This is why deer leather is referred to as "lifelong."

1．Even if it gets wet, it dries easily.

Good breathability is also a characteristic of Ezo deer leather.
No need to worry if it gets wet in a sudden rain.

If it gets wet, simply wipe it dry with a towel and let it air dry. No maintenance required!
The natural oils contained within will not escape, allowing it to return to its soft and supple state.
If placed in a sunny spot, it dries surprisingly quickly.

The Secret of Natural Deerskin Fibers

Deerskin possesses all the ideal qualities desired in leather, such as being "light," "supple," "water-resistant," "breathable," "durable," "resistant to deterioration," and having a "moist, soft touch."
Why is it so superior?

The secret lies in the fineness and structure of deerskin fibers.
Deer skin is made of fibers much finer than human hair (a staggering 15 millionths of a millimeter), and these ultra-fine fibers are intricately intertwined in multiple layers, firmly bound by collagen.
For example, "imagine 10 million fibers packed into a 15-millimeter diameter straw."
This amazingly dense and supple structure is the reason for deerskin's high performance.

This structure makes it light yet strong. It is also water-resistant and breathable.
And it remains soft all the time.

Therefore, it is a leather that can be used outdoors without worry, is perfect for outdoor activities, and can be used comfortably for a long time.
