This time, we will be releasing a leather tote bag (including different colors) on June 1, 2025. The price has been revised from ¥33,000 (tax included) to ¥36,800 (tax included).
Please be aware that the new prices will apply to orders placed after June 1, 2025.
Please note that the price revision may occur earlier depending on sales conditions.
The current price is the lowest, so we hope you will consider it soon.
Reason for price revision
This is due to the recent rise in prices and logistics costs, as well as the need to raise wages for craftsmen.
One of HushTug's four principles is "Preserving culture for the future."
This is a philosophy born from the desire to preserve traditional and excellent manufacturing techniques for future generations.
Therefore, we aim to pay artisans a fair wage commensurate with their skills and to resolve the chronic lack of successors among craftspeople.
All HushTug products are produced by craftsmen with the highest level of skill in Japan, so we feel that raising labor costs is reasonable given the current economic situation and have decided to implement this price increase.
We will continue to work together with the HushTug staff and craftsmen to provide quality and service that exceeds the price.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers and appreciate your understanding.
We look forward to your continued support of HushTug.
Conclusion
I learned that due to the current situation, apparel companies are experiencing a slump in business, causing Japanese craftsmen to lose their jobs, and that many workshops are going out of business due to the aging workforce.
As a fellow Japanese, I feel very sad to see the skilled techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation being lost.
We will continue to spread the word about the wonders of traditional, skilled techniques, so that Japan's wonderful techniques can be passed down and shared with the world, and contribute to the development of Japanese manufacturing.
