Introduction to the Collaboration

Starting May 26, DEAN & DELUCA, operated by Welcome Co., Ltd. from Minato, Tokyo, will release a sophisticated rattan basket bag in collaboration with BEAMS COUTURE, a brand under BEAMS Inc. from Shibuya, Tokyo. Available on the official online stores of both brands, this bag embodies the theme of "timeless beauty" through a harmonious blend of rattan and vegetable-tanned leather.

Design and Functionality

This stunning bag features a meticulously woven rattan body complemented by handles made of durable vegetable-tanned leather, which develops a unique patina over time, enhancing its sophisticated appearance.

It comes in two sizes: a lightweight S size for casual carry and a more spacious M size for those days when you need to carry more.

This stylish bag seamlessly fits both casual and elegant attire, adapting to the user’s lifestyle while evolving in character as it ages. This enables the owner to create a truly personal accessory that ages gracefully over time.
