Light Yet Durable!" – The Commitment of Ikedaya Randoseru
Some people may look at Japanese randoseru and think they seem heavy or difficult to carry. Others may believe that cowhide leather is high quality, while artificial leather is lower in quality.
However, with the right materials and design, it is possible to create a randoseru that is both lightweight and durable. At Ikedaya, we carefully craft our products to ensure they are easy for children to use.
1. The Balance Between Lightness and Durability
In Japan, most children use the same randoseru for all six years of elementary school. Because of this, a randoseru must be both easy to carry and strong enough to last. The key is to find the right balance of lightness, durability, and usability.
Ikedaya achieves this balance by carefully selecting materials for each part of the bag, ensuring that our randoseru remain sturdy and comfortable for long-term use.
2. The Best Combination of Cowhide and Premium Artificial Leather
Different materials have different features:
•Cowhide leather: Very durable and becomes softer over time, but heavier than artificial leather
•Artificial leather: Lightweight, and easy to maintain, but less resistant to pulling forces than cowhide
At Ikedaya, we use strong cowhide leather for high-stress areas like the shoulder straps. For parts that touch the back or the inside flap, we use lightweight, breathable artificial leather. This combination allows us to achieve both durability and lightness.
Many customers say, "Ikedaya's randoseru are light yet sturdy, which gives me peace of mind."
Additionally, all the cowhide used for Ikedaya randoseru is waterproof, so no special maintenance is needed.
3. Lightweight and Durable Parts for Even Less Weight
The weight of a randoseru is not just about the materials—it also depends on the hardware.
Most hooks and fittings on randoseru are made of metal. However, Ikedaya uses original lightweight resin parts that are both strong and durable. This reduces the weight while maintaining strength, making it easier for children to carry.
4. Comfortable Straps Make It Feel Lighter
The actual weight of a randoseru is important, but how it feels when worn also matters.
Ikedaya's randoseru are designed with shoulder straps that fit comfortably to reduce strain. Many customers have said, "I tried many brands, but Ikedaya's randoseru had the best fit."
A good fit means the bag stays close to the body, making it more comfortable and easier to carry.
