From Tokyo

SAKURA Waqs

LEATHER POUCH

A small leather goods company based in the industrial outskirts of Tokyo, Sakura is run by a third generation female CEO.  Started by her grandfather, a skilled leather craftsman who originally began crafting leather bags and belts for Japanese department stores, Sakura has evolved into its own brand of fine leather goods designed in house under the direction of the family matriarch.  Their brand of leather goods focuses on traditional hand-craft for modern use, evidenced by their simple line of black leather pouches with metal hardware that evokes a classic feel for modern tools: iPads and laptop computers.  Proudly ‘Made in Japan’, this small company of leather craftspeople look to the future –  while vigorously preserving the past.
