2022/11 HushTug Editorial Department

Hello!
My name is Nakajima and I am the chief designer at the men's leather brand HushTug.

Men, suddenly
Even if you go to a department store, the prices vary widely even though the designs are similar...
I know that buying expensive things isn't always better, but I don't want to buy something too cheap and end up making a mistake...

For you,
I have seen hundreds of bags and I make bags myself.
Finally, I will introduce my most recommended bag, so please take a look.

Point 1
Be careful with bags under 10,000 yen and bags over 50,000 yen!
If you want to choose a bag that you can use beautifully for many years at a reasonable price, it depends on the type of bag.

There are many bags available online for under 10,000 yen, but they are often of poor quality.
The pictures on the internet are beautifully taken,
On the other hand, bags that cost more than 50,000 yen
If you want to have a high-end branded bag, that's fine.
If the price is over 50,000 yen, the average person won't be able to tell the difference in quality.
If you want to choose a high-quality bag at a reasonable price, choose one between 20,000 and 50,000 yen.
Selection Point ②
Genuine leather is recommended for bag materials

I sometimes see people using worn out bags on the train,
To be honest, this gives the impression of someone who doesn't care about the things around them.
If you plan to use it for many years, choose a genuine leather bag, which will improve with use.
Point 3 for choosing
Simple and calm design
For mature men, we recommend a watch with a stylish design.

Bags with logos on the surface or shiny metal fittings
I get a bad reputation from people around me, especially women.
It would be counterproductive to damage your reputation because of a bag.
Choose something with a simple and sober design.
Point 4
Does it have a pocket for small items?

Generally, men tend to carry less luggage.
However, there are some palm-sized items that everyone wants to carry with them, such as chargers, cigarettes, and wallets, right?
Putting everything in your pockets doesn't look very good, so
Point 5
A size that can fit a PC or A4 size documents.

When you think about what to do when you go out, you'll want to have some extra money in addition to what you're bringing with you.
Some people may also want to carry a laptop, magazines, A4 files, etc. Small, convenient bags are good, but you should make sure you have a minimum amount of storage space just in case.
To summarise how to choose a work bag,
① Be careful with bags under 10,000 yen and bags over 50,000 yen!
② Genuine leather is recommended for bag materials
③ Simple and calm design
④ Does it have pockets for small items?
⑤ Large enough to fit a laptop or A4 size documents
It is important to be aware of these things.
However, it can be difficult to find a product that meets all of these criteria.
In that case, I would like to recommend
This is the leather brand HushTug.

This is a new brand that was launched in 2019, so you may not be familiar with it.
The online shop that was launched three years ago has the following features:
already

It is a major media
- NHK World
- BS TV Nikkei Morning Plus FT
- Fashion magazine Senken Shimbun
It has been featured on websites such as these and is becoming a hot topic in the leather industry.

In HushTug,
especially

Actually, this
He is a leather craftsman
Previously, I was looking for a bag for personal use for around 20,000 yen,
A simple, luxurious bag made of genuine leather.
I couldn't find it in any department store. (Even if I did, it was over 50,000 yen.)
"If it's not available anywhere, make it yourself!"
With this in mind, we at HushTug developed this smart tote.
When it was released, many customers purchased it, and production could not keep up with the demand, so we had to take preorders. (I'm so happy...)
This smart tote is
We have achieved ultimate simplicity by eliminating all surface logos, metal fittings, and pockets.
Although it is smaller than a typical tote bag,

However, this HushTug,
The downside is that you can only see the actual product at three stores: Otsuka, Tokyo; Hamamatsu, Shizuoka; and Tottori.
If you buy without seeing the actual product, you may be disappointed when it arrives.
Therefore, HushTug
- It was different from what I imagined
- I used it for a while but it didn't work for me
- It was difficult to use
Any reason is ok!
Attach the cash-on-delivery slip that came with the product,
Returning it is easy; just take it to a Lawson store.
HushTug will also cover the return shipping costs, so you can return it for free.

No matter how much you use it, you can get a refund within 30 days, so if you buy it to try it out,

If there is only a plus or zero, then in theory there is no loss,
If you're even slightly concerned, it would be a shame not to try it.
I've covered a lot so far, but there's one final thing to note!
Because all HushTug products are handcrafted by artisans,
There are still many products that are sold out.
Again, you can return or exchange the product within 30 days after it arrives.
Therefore, you can return or exchange the product within 30 days after it arrives.
While they're still in stock, we recommend you pick up a bag that will make you look like a capable adult!
