Dive into the distinctive essence of the new Kobashi Studio backpack, a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and quality materials that tell stories spanning decades. Crafted from 19oz water-resistant paraffin brown canvas, a fabric produced by the same Japanese textile company since 1885, the backpack not only exudes durability but also carries a rich heritage.

Every detail narrates a unique story: the solid brass YKK zipper, made in Japan, ensures a smooth and sturdy closure. The press-molded brass buckle, sourced from an early 1900s hardware company, adds a touch of vintage authenticity to the backpack. Elegance lies in the details, and the Japanese vegetable-tanned saddle leather pull is a testament to that.

The nylon tape surrounding the backpack, produced in Shizuoka since 1950, brings a touch of tradition to modern functionality. Yet, comfort is not sacrificed for style: both the shoulder and back of the backpack are carefully cushioned, providing the necessary comfort to accompany you in your daily endeavors.

It's not just a backpack; it's a functional work of art. Handmade in Hyogo, Japan, every stitch tells a story of craftsmanship perfected over time. Designed to withstand the rigors of daily use for years, it's a piece meant to be handed down rather than tossed out. With its standard dimensions, this backpack seamlessly fits into your lifestyle while elevating it to a higher level.

Kobashi Studio is a small Japanese Tokyo-based atelier specializing in solid brass accessories of the highest quality and detailing found today.
