Easy to carry leather bag

LEATHER OLD TOTE BAG MEDIUM is a tote bag with a simple design that makes the leather look stand out. The vintage processing applied to the details gives it a unique texture, and it is simple yet has a presence. When you touch the leather, it has a mysterious texture that feels both solid and at the same time fits well. The more you use it, the more you'll become attached to it, and you'll want to take it with you on any journey as your one and only favorite.

Vintage processing is applied not only to the bag itself, but also to the package and tag, and the included drawstring bag is intentionally dyed. This item conveys Vasco's strong desire and commitment to convey the charm of vintage to as many people as possible.

Commitment to long-lasting use

The tote bag LEATHER OLD TOTE BAG MEDIUM is based on the leather bags that have been used for carrying luggage outdoors since the 1960s. The key point is that it is lightweight by making it simple and easy to use without lining or pockets. When you think of Vasco, you get the impression that it's rugged, heavy, and thick leather, but this bag uses different types of leather for the body and handle, making it lighter and easier for women to choose.

The size can also be stored on A4 paper, making it easy to use for multiple purposes. It has just the right amount of space for your PC, files, etc. for commuting. It has a streamlined design in terms of appearance and functionality, and is good for people of all genders.Especially in the sense that the leather quickly adapts to your hands, you can use it for work or daily use. I'm also happy.

The uneven color that can only be achieved by hand-dying and the expression of the leather make it a one-of-a-kind item. Vasco's leather is something that you can enjoy aging as it becomes more glossy the more you use it, and of course this bag is the same. It has a vintage look to it from the beginning, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it improves as you continue to use it.

Vasco's simple and easy-to-use bags are also recommended as gifts. It is easy to use and can be used in a wide range of situations, such as going out on holidays, traveling, and business settings, so it would also make a great birthday present or Father's Day gift for someone who loves leather items or a loved one.

Something that does not lose its shine over time

Treasure-like bags found at vintage shops captivate the hearts of many people. Still, it's hard to find a vintage item that will last you for years or even decades. I want to have my own authentic style that will last for a long time. Vasco products make that wish come true.

The founder of Vasco was originally active as a buyer of used clothing. However, while vintage items are extremely attractive and highly sought after, there are limits to their quantity and restoration. Meanwhile, I decided to take it upon myself to convey the charm of vintage to as many people as possible and started making things. This brand, named after Vasco da Gama, the great navigator who pioneered new continents during the Age of Exploration, has a strong desire for bags with texture to be used for a long time, and the name still stands today. It is a brand that continues to evolve and take on challenges with an insatiable spirit of inquiry, without going against the grain.

Vasco's manufacturing that travels through time

Vasco is a brand that creates bags and leather accessories based on the concept of "travel tools." We create heavy-duty items that will not lose their shine over time, with the concept of travel tools having the meaning of ``things that will continue to exist even if they are culled.''
Manufacturing is based in Higashi-Nakano, Tokyo. Creating an original space by completely renovating an old building with our own hands. It shows us the charm of the integration of space and manufacturing.

Vasco's craftsmen have solid skills and taste, and rather than assembly line work, they handle the entire process from patterning to sewing and finishing by themselves. This is why you can feel the brand's strong commitment to even the smallest nuances. The cowhide material is finished with a vintage-like texture using a traditional technique called ``Okazome.'' Oka-zome is a technique that was born in the Santa Croce region of Italy in the 19th century, and is attractive for its vintage-like color shading and aging, but now that taiko-zome, which aims for uniformity, has become mainstream, hand-dyed Leather has become extremely rare. Although there are only a few craftsmen who can hand-dye, it is a technique that has been passed down at Vasco since the brand was established. After dyeing, the fabric is carefully polished using a puff machine, and then sewn, stamped, and finished with great care.
