Have you noticed that there are more and more adults carrying drawstring bags on the streets these days?

It's lighter than a tote, more flexible than a shoulder bag, and can be carried even by those who prefer to go hands-free.

However, it's surprisingly difficult to find a genuine leather drawstring bag that adults can carry.

HushTug's domestically produced leather bags were born from such requests.

It seems like it should exist, but it's nowhere to be found.

Its exquisite design and ease of use have attracted former Japanese Olympic water polo player Keisuke Shimizu, who is also a fan.

From finding out about HushTug to purchasing it

1. Find out on Instagram

How did you first hear about HushTug?

Shimizu-sama

I saw an ad for a drawstring leather bag on Instagram and was intrigued, so I looked into it.
It's simple yet luxurious, and its uniqueness that's hard to find is what really struck me.

② Visit the Harajuku store

HushTug Staff

I see. Thank you!
Did you see it online and have a reason to come to the store?

Shimizu-sama

I like to see the leather texture and size in person .
The size when you hold it can be different from the online photo.

③ Check the leather and size

HushTug Staff

Purchasing something from an online shop is quite different from what you imagine (laughs). What was your first impression of the actual product?

Shimizu-sama

It was better than I imagined . The leather doesn't feel cheap, and the size is just right . It feels natural to hold in your hand or on your arm.

④ Coincidentally, it's in stock

HushTug Staff

At the time, there were many online stores with a two-month wait time for reservations...

Shimizu-sama

That's right. It said there was a two-month wait, so I went to check the size and also to look at other products! By chance, they had it in stock at the outlet, so I decided to buy it immediately .

The deciding factor for purchasing a leather drawstring bag and my impressions after using it

HushTug Staff

What made you first think that the drawstring leather bag was great?

Shimizu-sama

The design! It's simple yet luxurious. It has a uniqueness that is "something you don't see often."
The leather drawstring bag itself is quite rare .

HushTug Staff

Thank you for your kind words!
What do you think of the functionality and size?

Shimizu-sama

I was looking for something that I could wear both for work and casual occasions , and this was perfect.
The size is just right . When I actually used it, it fit perfectly both in my hand and on my arm.

HushTug Staff

I'm very happy to hear that. What did you think about the price?

Shimizu-sama

I thought it was reasonable (under 20,000 yen) .
It's easy to recommend it to others. It's also great that it's priced so that even students can afford it.

HushTug Staff

Thank you for the recommendation! What kind of situations do you use it in?

Shimizu-sama

I also use it for family outings, dinner parties, and business trips.
When going out with family, it's convenient to carry around since there are children around , and it adds a touch of elegance to a dinner party .
