Tsuchiya Kaban Unveils New Colors for the Gazet Code Series

Tokyo-based leather brand Tsuchiya Kaban, known for its roots in crafting school bags, is set to launch new colors for their popular Gazet Code series on November 6, 2025. This release features two stunning color options: the chic 'Champignon' and the limited-edition 'Red Clay'. Made with medium grain leather, these pieces present sophistication and style, making them perfect additions to any wardrobe.

Introducing the Gazet Code Series

The Gazet Code series utilizes the unique texture of medium grain leather, which boasts a delicate pebbled finish and natural color variations. This elegant material combines luxury with practicality, resulting in lightweight yet supple handbags designed for everyday use. Each item in the series is crafted to enhance the beauty of the wearer while providing a timeless appeal.

New Color: Champignon

The new 'Champignon' hue brings a touch of urban sophistication. Ideal for autumn and winter wardrobes, this color complements dark tones seamlessly and pairs wonderfully with grays and beiges for a sophisticated look.

The interior of the handbags in this color features a 'light beige' lining, with off-white stitching that enhances the overall design. The use of silver-tone hardware gives a modern twist, bringing together a vibrant, elegant appearance well-suited for various occasions.

Limited Edition: Red Clay

The second color, a limited-edition 'Red Clay', is an earthy tone reminiscent of strong, fertile soil. This primitive yet rich color brings a depth of elegance to autumn and winter outfits, making it a standout piece.

The interior of the 'Red Clay' items features a coordinating 'brown-red' color, while light orange stitching enhances the design by providing a contrast that keeps the overall look sharp and refined. Similar to 'Champignon', this color also incorporates silver hardware for a polished finish.
