The brand's name embodies its philosophy: to slow down, meticulously refine every detail in the conception of each product, and uphold the unwavering principles of craftsmanship. The design concept centers on a casual yet refined aesthetic, drawing inspiration from classic European and American styles and reinterpreting them to create enduring pieces of understated elegance. Materials are carefully selected, featuring premium vegetable-tanned leathers from Japan and Europe (USA/Belgium/Italy), combined with highly durable canvas produced in Kurashiki, Japan, and brass hardware crafted in Japan. Each item is meticulously handcrafted by local artisans, showcasing the brand's dedication to professionalism and uncompromising quality. This commitment brings you a pure, unadulterated experience and a sophisticated sense of style. https://youtu.be/zw_IejtpMwI For the discerning individual who appreciates understated sophistication, this mature yet effortlessly stylish bag is the perfect companion for every moment. Deep, rich hues like coffee and black exude a calm, gentlemanly aura, while the leather's lustrous sheen harmonizes with your personal taste, ensuring you feel both charming and confident with every wear. The leather is exclusively produced for SLOW by a century-old tannery in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. This premium, full vegetable-tanned cowhide is crafted from Canadian raw hides, tanned using plant-based tannins. The process involves over six months of soaking, drying, flattening, and heat-pressing to set the surface and infuse it with oils. This method preserves the natural textures and rich, oily luster, developing a deep, lustrous patina with a vintage charm through daily use. The bag features a brass snap closure on the front flap for secure fastening. Inside, you'll find one spacious main compartment, a zippered pocket on the back interior, two open pockets on the front interior, and a large slip pocket on the back exterior. The edges are finished with leather trim for a refined look, and the strap is secured with brass rivets, allowing for easy adjustment to your preferred carrying length. Dimensions: W260 x H190 x D50 (mm) Weight: Approx. 710g Origin: Made in Japan
