Point	This leather backpack is designed for adults, inspired by the traditional Japanese randoseru once reserved for children. It is part of the “Classica” series, a re-design of randoseru from the early Showa era, preserving the classical look while adapting it for modern use. The main compartment is wide and deep, large enough to hold a tablet or a 13-inch laptop, making it practical for everyday or business use. A sub-compartment with the same wide opening also provides generous depth and storage capacity. The body is crafted from cowhide leather, tanned in Himeji using a semi-tannin method. This leather combines the natural texture of vegetable tanning with the softness of chrome tanning, and it becomes more comfortable with use. The shoulder straps are made from 4mm-thick vegetable-tanned leather from Himeji. With densely packed fibers, this strong material is ideal for backpack straps.

“The Small Leather Randoseru” has been updated in a larger, more practical size.
The “Classica” series is a popular line from Ikedaya, based on randoseru actually used in the early Showa era. The design faithfully reproduces the details of the time while adapting them for modern use. Responding to customer feedback, the leather mini backpack from this series has now been released in a larger size. It keeps its nostalgic, classical atmosphere while offering improved usability for a wider range of situations.

Two color options are available: Brown, with a chic and refined look, and Black, accented with camel-colored stitching. Both are calm, versatile tones suitable for any age, gender, or style.

The wide opening and deep main compartment can easily hold a laptop or A4 files, making it practical for both business and daily use. With the increased size, it is now more comfortable for men as well, broadening its appeal.

This is a retro-modern leather backpack designed for adults, created with the craftsmanship and experience cultivated through making randoseru.

 

Enjoy the texture of cowhide leather
The main body of the bag and the belt are made of Himeji leather. The bag is made of a combination of tanning and chrome-tanning leather, and the surface is coated with a topcoat before being glossy. While having high durability, you can also enjoy the leather's change over time, so you can fully appreciate the unique texture of leather bags. The belt, on the other hand, is made of tannin-tanned thick 4mm gneiss leather. You can see the difference from others not only in its durability as a belt, but also in its massive atmosphere and the presence of the leather itself.

Tanned with tannin
Tannin-tanning is a process in which the leather is dipped in a solution of tannin extracted from plants, etc., and finished without surface treatment. The color, texture and expression of the leather changes as it is tanned.

Chrome-tanning
The hides are dipped in a basic chromium sulfate solution and finished. It is highly durable, scratch-resistant, and has excellent elasticity and flexibility.

Nu-me leather
Tanned with tannin extracted from plants, this leather is extremely durable. The leather is very strong. The fibers are packed together, so it is hard at first, but after continued use, it loosens up and becomes soft.

 

Enjoy the time and effort

Leather bags become more lustrous and tasteful as they are used more and more, but regular care is also essential to keep them beautiful and useful for a long time. Just like human skin, it is necessary to keep the bag clean and moist.

However, "water" is strictly prohibited for genuine leather bags. Never wipe with water.

Steps for care
STEP1：Clean the surface with a brush or a soft, dry cloth.
STEP2：Polish with a special leather care cream.
STEP3：Dry in an airy, shady place to allow the cream to penetrate the surface.

Although it depends on the type of special leather care cream you use, these three basic steps are all you need to do. This seems somewhat doable. Don't you feel like you can do it?

Please pick one up and give it a try.

Even if you use it every day, you tend to miss the smallest details in your daily busyness. Therefore, taking the time to pick it up and look at the details is a blissful time when you can notice even the smallest changes.

There are many types of special creams and waterproof sprays for cleaning. Please test them on an inconspicuous area first to make sure they do not cause stains, etc., before using them on the entire surface.

 

Requests Regarding Product Condition

Because cowhide is a natural material, each leather has its own expression and individual differences may occur. Bloodstains (blood vessel marks), scars (scars from fights between cows), and uneven dyeing due to differences in fiber density inside the leather are proof of the natural material and are used as they are as the individual characteristics of the leather. We do not accept returns or exchanges for these reasons, as they are not product defects. Please understand in advance and enjoy the texture of natural leather.
