Celebrating a Unique Collaboration in Leather Fashion

The renowned Japanese leather goods brand, TSUCHIYA KABAN, has recently unveiled an exclusive collaboration with the innovative leather product brand A LEATHER. The centerpiece of this collaboration is the stunning bag known as ROUNDRIDER. Scheduled for its first sales spot at Isetan Shinjuku Store from September 16 to September 29, 2026, this product will also be part of the prestigious Pitti Immagine Uomo event held in Florence earlier this year.

ROUNDRIDER: Where Italian Elegance Meets Japanese Craftsmanship

The ROUNDRIDER bag is not just a stylish accessory; it is a beautiful blend of practicality and artistry. Its design draws inspiration from the elegance of a leather rider jacket combined with the traditional craftsmanship that TSUCHIYA KABAN has honed over the years through their iconic school bags, known as randoseru. This unique fusion incorporates jacket elements like sleeve motifs on the sides and intricate details inside the flap of the bag.

Crafted from high-quality Japanese leather, each piece is meticulously assembled by skilled artisans of TSUCHIYA KABAN, highlighting the bag's sleek pencil forms and smooth textures. ROUNDRIDER represents a perfect alliance between the rich heritage of craftsmanship and contemporary design principles, embodying Japan's dedication to excellence.
