Spring is a season of change.
This could be a new school or job, or even if the environment remains the same, it could be a new school year and you'll be approaching it with a fresh mind.
Things to be careful about in this new life:
Make sure you have all your personal items ready .
In particular, the bag you carry around with you on a daily basis has a big impact on your daily life, so you want to be particular about it, but starting a new life is a time when expenses can add up .
Even if you want to buy a new bag, it takes courage to buy something expensive.
Once again, my name is Nakajima and I am the manager of the showroom for the leather brand HushTug .
I usually talk to a variety of customers, and many of them say , "I'm looking for a tote bag to use for work starting in the spring."
Since it's a time when expenses tend to increase, it seems that many people are looking for a budget of around 30,000 yen .
I feel uneasy about cheap bags, but I can't afford high-end brand bags.
For you
- Luxury
- Ease of use
- Cost performance
How about a HushTug leather tote that comes with all of these features?
Simple yet luxurious appearance
The main feature of HushTug is its "ultimately simple design."
In other brands,
- Reinforcement of the handle
- metal fittings
- Brand logo
- outer pocket
However, HushTug does not have any of the above features, or it is hidden from view.
This is what happened when developing a tote bag.
"Ultimate simplicity with no unnecessary features"
Following this concept, we removed everything that would get in the way of the simple design.
The leather used for the leather tote is
It is made from domestically produced genuine cowhide leather .
The material used is Himeji leather, one of Japan's leading leather producing areas, and is also used in bags from famous brands.
The simplicity of this design combined with the luxury of leather makes HushTug's leather tote.
The simple yet luxurious design makes it suitable for a variety of situations.
Easy to use and can be used in a variety of situations
HushTug's tote bag is large enough to easily fit all your everyday essentials.
It can easily fit a 13-inch laptop or A4 size items.
It is large enough to accommodate both personal and professional use.
The handle that can be worn on the shoulder has also been designed with care.
The average handle length of other companies' tote bags is 23-27cm.
The HushTug tote has a 29cm handle.
By making it longer, you can wear it securely over your shoulders even when wearing a thick jacket.
"If it's too long, it might scrape against the ground when you hold it."
Some people may feel this way, but please rest assured that after repeated testing taking into account height and arm length, the bag has been adjusted to a length that is easy to carry over the shoulder and does not scrape against the ground.
Durable and long-lasting, good value for money
HushTug's leather totes are made from genuine cowhide leather produced in Himeji.
Himeji has been one of Japan's leading leather producing areas since the Kamakura period, and its high-quality leather is highly regarded around the world.
The leather is chrome tanned, which makes it resistant to scratches, water stains, and discoloration , allowing you to use it for a long time in good condition.
The artisans who make our tote bags are a long-established bag manufacturer with a history of about 90 years and the skills to produce bags for brands that are used by the Imperial Household .
The craftsman,
- Parts that will be subject to stress during use should be reinforced in advance.
- Choose the best part from dozens of different parts to create beautiful aging.
- The leather used this time has a different texture, so I'll change the parts I use a little.
We pay close attention to every detail when making our products.
Our products are made with the expectation that they will be used for 10 or 20 years, so they are durable and will change over time.
