Tsuchiya Kaban Introduces Spring Colors for Clarte Series

Tsuchiya Kaban, a renowned leather goods brand originally established as a school bag workshop, is set to launch new colors for its popular Clarte series on February 5, 2026. Two fresh shades, 'Shell Pink' and the limited edition 'White Sand', are designed to evoke the essence of spring, adding a lively touch to any outfit.

The Inspiration Behind Clarte

The name 'Clarte' translates to 'light' or 'brightness' in French, capturing the elegant essence of modern femininity. Since its inception in 2011, the Clarte series has been designed for versatile use, transitioning seamlessly from casual to professional settings. The standout feature of this series is its use of Field Soft Leather, known for its soft texture and distinctive grain, which is carefully crafted to enhance the natural drape and flow of the leather in each design detail.

New Colors to Elevate Spring Wardrobes

The introduction of 'Shell Pink' provides a clear and vibrant impression reminiscent of spring's beginning, offering a fresh and cheerful hue. This shade, characterized by a bluish tone, balances sweetness with sophistication, making it perfect for various styles. Softening manly outfits while adding refined elegance to feminine looks, this color strikes a perfect balance between dazzling and lightness.

Incorporated into the design, the interior features a nuanced pink-grey color, harmonized with light pink stitching, creating an overall sophisticated and pure aesthetic complemented by silver hardware.

On the other hand, 'White Sand' serves as a limited edition color, radiating a gentle, warm glow. It merges hints of yellow and grey, seamlessly blending into any styling and enhancing outfits, from dark tones to brighter ensembles, with a touch of sophistication. The neutral nature of this color provides versatility, easily pairing with a variety of looks.

Quality Craftsmanship in Every Detail

The climate of each product showcases meticulous attention to detail, from the stitching to the choice of interior colors. The interior of 'White Sand' features soothing grey tones, while the stitching incorporates an off-white hue, allowing for a clean and cohesive appearance. The silver accents add a understated yet elegant touch, effortlessly elevating everyday attire.
