Keep it long, treasure it long.

Feel attached

At first glance, vasco's LEATHER OFFICER POUCH bag looks like a simple bag. Although it has a standard shape, I get the impression that it is not standard because of the depth of taste that overflows from the leather with unique shades made by the hand-dyed method and the metal fittings that have been vintage-processed. It's as if you've found it in a vintage shop, and it's the perfect personality to accompany you for a long time. I'm looking forward to changing the texture to my own each time I use it.

Bring out the charm of the material and its aging

The LEATHER OFFICER POUCH bag is a modernized version of the military pouch used by U.S. ARMY in the 1940s. The characteristic of this bag is the texture of leather and metal fittings that you feel when you pick it up. From the leather that you can feel the rough cowhide material firmly and the metal fittings that have been subjected to vintage-style aging processing, you can feel the attachment as if you have been using it for a long time.

Also, the 2WAY specification is like vasco, which is an interesting place. The shoulder can be put on and taken off, and if you remove the shoulder, it can be used as a pouch or as a bag-in-bag depending on the situation. It's a convenient and just-sized bag that you can quickly put in essentials for going out, such as a mini wallet, pass case, and smartphone, and it's easy to match with a wide range of coordination from beautiful eyes to casual clothes, so it's a nice bag to have one.

Vegetable tannin leather from Himeji is dyed by a traditional hand-dyed method and then charred and oiled to give it a vintage texture. One of the good things is that it has a unique shade of color and you can enjoy the tasteful aging. The brass fittings are also aged in a vintage style to match the leather, so you can enjoy aging with the leather.

Things that do not lose their brilliance over time

The treasure-like bags found in vintage shops are captivating to many. Still, it's a vintage one, and it's hard to find one that will accompany you for years and decades. I want a genuine personality that will accompany me for a long time. It is this vasco product that fulfills such a wish.

The founder of vasco was originally a buyer of used clothing. However, while vintage items are very attractive and very popular, their numbers and restorations are limited. Meanwhile, he started making things by himself, hoping to convey the charm of vintage to as many people as possible. Named after the great voyager vasco da gama, who pioneered a new continent during the Age of Discovery, the brand has a strong desire to use textured bags for a long time, and it is still the name. It is a brand that continues to evolve by challenging with an insatiable spirit of inquiry.

Traveling time, vasco manufacturing

vasco is a brand that creates bags and small leather goods under the concept of "travel tools". We are creating heavy-duty items that do not lose their brilliance over time, with the meaning of "things that will remain even after being weeded out" in the travel tools that are also the concept.
Manufacturing is based in Higashinakano, Tokyo. Creating an original space by completely renovating an old building with your own hands. It teaches us the charm of being one with space and manufacturing.

The craftsman of vasco has a certain skill and sense, and does not the assembly line work, but the whole process from patterning to sewing and finishing by himself. 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 taste by 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 its vintage-like shades of color and aging are attractive. Leather has become extremely rare. Although the number of craftsmen who can do hand dyeing is small, it is also a technique that vasco has inherited since the brand was established. After dyeing, it is carefully polished using a puff machine, and is carefully sewn, beaten, and finished.
