Message from the CEO
Person

HushTug is a brand that delivers high-quality leather products made by Japanese artisans to the world.

Our goal is not just to manufacture products, but to pass on the pride of Japan to the future, and to spread that message to the world.

However, it is not just our management team and craftsmen who make this happen.

By joining HushTug, you will be able to manage the brand, communicate its values, and reach as many people as possible.


"Delivering truly good products in the right way."


It's not easy.

But that's exactly why it's worth taking on the challenge. Marketing, sales, planning, all of the work will shape the future of the brand.

HushTug will grow together with people who believe in the value of manufacturing and think and act for themselves.

Would you like to take on the challenge of sharing the skills and passion of artisans with the world and passing on Japanese manufacturing to the next generation?

Representative Director Takahisa Toda

ABOUT US
HushTug is a brand that sells items made from domestic leather.
2017
Founded in Mongolia
Our CEO, Toda, visited Mongolia and became interested in local social issues and manufacturing, so he founded a leather brand despite having no experience in the industry.
2019
Now on sale at the online store
After a preparation period of searching for craftsmen and planning, and crowdfunding, they began selling their products in Japan through their own online store.
Monthly sales: Approximately 8.4 million yen

2022
Manufacturing base in Japan
In the two years since sales began, the product has been chosen by over 20,000 customers and has become the largest factory in Mongolia, but due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on shipping and other aspects, the company has shifted to domestic production.
Monthly sales: Approximately 30 million yen

2025
Store expansion begins
In order to steadily increase sales online and become a brand that is even more accessible to customers, we have been preparing to convert our existing Ikebukuro showroom into a retail store since 2024, and will begin expanding into multiple stores, starting with the opening of our Harajuku Omotesando store in 2025.
Monthly sales: Over 80 million yen Total number of customers: Over 90,000

ABOUT WORK
HushTug's strengths lie in attracting customers online and providing a highly flexible and growth-friendly environment.
Strong in attracting customers online
Before founding HushTug, he was involved in web advertising and media production, and his skills and know-how in attracting online customers are among the best in the industry. You can learn comprehensive marketing in conjunction with e-commerce management and stores.
High degree of freedom in dress and working style
Regardless of the job type, you can basically wear whatever you like to work (you can wear whatever hairstyle, clothes, nails, etc. as long as it doesn't give a bad impression to customers).
A venture-like environment where you can grow
Because we are still a small, elite organization with a small staff, we have a lot of discretion and it is an environment where it is easy to realize your own opinions and ideas. This is perfect for people who want to grow their business with their own ideas rather than just doing their job.
Paid leave and long-term vacation systems are also available
It goes without saying that 100% of employees take paid leave, but it is also possible to take paid leave the day before or on the day itself. In addition, employees can take long vacations about twice a year (New Year's holidays and Obon holidays), so those who want to spend time with their hobbies or family can work with a good balance.
