Exclusive Release of Kurokawa Kaban's Smooth Cow Leather Cube-Shaped Classic Edition Backpack

Kurokawa Kaban Launches Exclusive Smooth Cow Leather Cube-Shaped 'Classic Edition'

Kurokawa Kaban, a renowned bag maker founded in 1895, is set to release a limited quantity of their highly requested Smooth Cow Leather Cube-Shaped 'Classic Edition' backpacks. This special edition will be available starting July 14, accompanied by unique referral promotions and store purchase bonuses for customers.

As Kurokawa Kaban gears up for this release, it's important to note that the order period for the standard model of backpacks aimed at students entering in April 2026 has already ended at the end of June. The popularity of previous models led to a surge of inquiries, prompting the company to produce a limited number of these exclusive backpacks in eight different past models.

Classic Edition Line-Up

Kurokawa Kaban presents two stylish collections of the Classic Edition backpacks:

- Black Backpacks with Different Stitch Colors: Four models are available including black, black with blue stitching, black with gold stitching, and black with red stitching. The traditional black backpack offers a unique personality through varying stitch designs, with the black×red combination being particularly popular after its recent debut.

- Backpacks with Pink Stitching: This collection features four models—wine with pink, camel with pink, aqua with pink, and lavender with pink. These models, exclusive to this release, include a zipper pocket and a heart-shaped backrest stitch, making them a whimsical choice for kids.

Limited quantities will be available until stock runs out, with final deliveries scheduled between January and the commencement of the school year in 2026. For detailed lineup information, visit Kurokawa Kaban’s official page.

The Landscape of Recent 'Randaku'

The trend of purchasing backpacks for elementary school students, referred to as 'Randaku,' has been progressively starting earlier each year. Companies have begun accepting catalog request orders in the autumn, one and a half years before the school year starts. Many popular models now sell out within hours or days after their official launch. Therefore, customers looking for in-demand models are encouraged to check them out in stores or events ahead of time.

About Kurokawa Kaban’s Backpacks

Kurokawa Kaban sources leather from cattle and horses, ensuring that it is a sustainable material. In light of today's sustainability efforts, leather is gaining attention for being strong and durable while returning to nature. Uniquely, there are no two pieces of natural material alike; every component has its character, which Kurokawa Kaban honors by using high-quality, carefully selected leather. Artisans meticulously sew each backpack, fostering uniqueness with every stitch. Furthermore, they have developed the 'Habata ku®' backpacks, designed to reduce physical strain on children.

Kurokawa Kaban continues to focus on crafting backpacks that serve as reliable companions throughout children's six years of elementary school education.
