Keep it long, treasure it long.

With a vintage style

A bag of vasco that has been devised from the selection of materials to wear for a long time. Each time you use it, the texture will evolve and you will become like a partner that you can't let go of.

Pursue the old shape

The LEATHER MAIL PURSE bag is a modernized U.S MAIL drawstring bag used in the 1980s. It looks like a leather boat tote bag, but it is a 3WAY bag that can be enjoyed by changing its shape. The point is a round string that goes through the bag opening. When you squeeze the string, the mouth of the bag will squeeze and turn into a drawstring type.

It’s a classic tote bag, but it’s vasco that the impression changes completely depending on how you hold it.

Vegetable tannin leather from Himeji is dyed by a traditional hand-dyed method and then charred and oiled to give it a vintage texture. The leather is hand-stamped with antique letterpress stamps one by one to give it a unique look, and the brass fittings are also aged to match the leather, so you can enjoy aging with the leather.

Things that do not lose their brightness over time

A treasure-like bag found in a vintage shop attracts many people. Still, it's a vintage technique, and it's hard to find one point to accompany it for years or decades. I want a genuine personality that I can accompany for a long time. It is this vasco product that will fulfill such a wish.

The founder of vasco was originally active as a buyer of used clothing. However, while vintage ones were very attractive and popular, they were limited in number and restoration. In the meantime, I wanted to convey the charm of vintage to more people and started making things. Named by a great voyager, vasco da gama, who pioneered a new continent during the voyage, this brand has a strong desire to use a long-feeling bag, It is a brand that continues to evolve with a spirit of challenge and never violating its name.

Vasco manufacturing that travels in time

vasco is a brand that creates bags and small leather goods based on the concept of “travel tools”. The travel tool, which is also a concept, means "thing that will remain even if it is struck" and creates a heavy-duty item that will not lose its shine over time.
Manufacturing is based in Tokyo and Higashinakano. Creating an original space by renovating an old building with your own hands. He / she tells charm that space and manufacturing are united.

The craftman of vasco has a certain skill and sense, and does the whole process from patterning, sewing and finishing alone, not flow work. This is why you can feel the brand's strong commitment to fine nuances. The leather of the material is finished in a vintage-like taste using a traditional technique called “hill dyeing”. Hill dyeing is a technique that was born in the Santa Croce region of Italy in the 19th century, and is attractive for vintage color shades and secular changes. Made leather has become extremely rare. Although there are only a few craftsmen who can hand-dye, vasco is a technique that has been handed down since the establishment of the brand. After dyeing, it is carefully polished using a puffer machine and carefully sewed, punched and finished.
