Black Zip Mini Tote
Product Features
#1Ultimate simplicity, stripped of all unnecessary embellishments.
This model is an improved version of the original zip mini tote, featuring a black zipper. The opening is designed to face upwards, and the capacity has been revised to accommodate a 13-inch laptop.
The exterior boasts a minimalist design, typical of HushTug, with unnecessary embellishments removed. This mini tote naturally blends in, from everyday outings to work.
#2Luxurious use of Himeji leather, highly acclaimed worldwide
Luxurious cowhide leather produced by a tanner (Nakashima Leather Industry) in Himeji, a renowned leather production area, is used.
Please enjoy the strong, supple Himeji leather, created with traditional techniques cultivated over 65 years of history, and its beautiful aging process.

2. Monotone design with black zipper and gray lining.
We've combined a black zipper with a gray lining. This monotone design, characteristic of HushTug, gives a calm impression from the outside to the inside.
3. Upward-facing zipper design that accommodates a 13-inch PC.
The upward-facing zipper design allows for a 13-inch laptop to fit neatly, providing ample storage capacity. While maintaining its compact appearance, it has been refined for greater practicality and ease of use.
*Specifications differ from other products: "Zip Mini Tote Black / Navy / Dark Gray / Taupe". Please be aware of this beforehand.
4. Simple interior for easy storage.
To maximize storage, the interior has no dividers. This allows you to roughly store items according to their shape, providing a surprisingly spacious feel.
5. Four free pockets for organizing small items.
The interior features a total of four free pockets. This design makes it easy to organize small items that tend to get scattered in your bag.
6. Equipped with a useful top zipper.
The main compartment is equipped with a top zipper. This not only keeps the contents out of sight but also prevents the opening from gaping wide open during travel or in sudden rain.
7. Designed to stand upright when placed down.
By incorporating a core material inside the bag, it's designed to remain upright when placed on the floor. This makes it easy to access items even when placed on a chair or the floor, making it convenient for use on the go.
8. Uses YKK Excella Black No. 5.
The zipper used is the world-renowned Japanese YKK "Excella Black No. 5."
This zipper is characterized by its smooth feel, achieved by polishing each element. It combines aesthetic beauty with comfort in use.
9. Smooth suede-like gray lining.
The lining uses a smooth, suede-like synthetic fiber. It features a gentle texture when touched and a calm gray color.
10. Full leather specification with the entire surface finished in leather.
The entire surface is finished in full leather. By luxuriously using leather, we have created a design that, despite its simplicity, exudes a sense of high quality.
11. Chrome tanning for strong resistance to scratches, water stains, and color fading.
The leather is treated with a process called chrome tanning. It is highly resistant to scratches, water stains, and color fading, making it easy to maintain its pristine condition even with daily use.
12. The leather's texture deepens with use.
HushTug leather becomes more familiar to the touch with use, gradually developing its own unique character. You can enjoy the changing texture of the leather depending on how you hold and use it daily.
13. Meticulously sewn by Japanese artisans.
Each item is meticulously sewn by Japanese artisans. Its simple design leaves no room for imperfection. We pay close attention to every detail, from the stitching to the finishing touches.
14. Neatly store the zipper end.
If you're concerned about the excess zipper, it can be neatly tucked inside. This design allows for a tidy look around the opening and closing when you want to keep it organized.
15. Logo on the inside only.
To maintain a minimalist impression, the logo is only placed on the inside. We hope you'll think of HushTug for a moment each time you reach for something inside.
About Us
#1What is HushTug?
HushTug is a leather brand that offers high-quality, simple leather products at affordable prices.
At the same time, by carrying out most of our leather production and sewing in Japan, we aim to solve social problems faced by the Japanese leather industry, such as a shortage of successors.
Thus, we are a social brand that aims to preserve the tradition of the Japanese leather industry for future generations through our brand operations.
#2About HushTug's Pricing
At HushTug, we value cost performance.
"Improve quality while keeping prices low."
To achieve these seemingly contradictory goals, we chose a business model where:
We handle everything from product planning and development to sales and post-purchase support in-house,
and cut costs as much as possible, excluding material and labor costs.
Since there are no intermediaries, we can cut unnecessary costs and provide highly cost-effective products.
#3The Makers' Vision
Most of HushTug's products are made by D.bell (formerly Handbag Suzuki).
We pour all the knowledge gained over 90 years of our company's history into our products to ensure customer satisfaction.
Through HushTug, we aim to solve the problem of a shortage of successors in the leather industry and pass on Japan's wonderful traditions to future generations.
Please take a look at our work in the page below if you'd like.
#4Our Thoughts on Selling Prices
At HushTug, with the desire to pass on traditional and excellent manufacturing techniques to future generations, we are committed to selling products at appropriate prices, and will raise prices if necessary to ensure that artisans are properly compensated.
Furthermore, to prevent customers who have supported HushTug from feeling sad that "the price is lower than when I bought it," we will, in principle, not lower product prices in the future, making the current price the lowest price.
Please take a look at our thoughts on price increases on the page below if you'd like.
#5Beware of color transfer and fading.
Due to the nature of genuine leather, using it when wet can cause color transfer and fading.
Please be especially careful in summer when you tend to sweat.
The following methods can help prevent color transfer to some extent. Please check them as well.
