Launching in spring 2024, "WE ARE ONE" is a bag brand created by Mitsutoshi Nakayama, designer of the leather brand "RE.ACT." In collaboration with a sewing factory in Kojima, Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, Japan's leading jeans production area, the brand offers one-of-a-kind products made with carefully selected materials and advanced technology.
In making the bags, we select the production area, materials, quality, and functionality from among many different factors, including the know-how we have cultivated up to now, the historical background, and the needs of the times. Making the most of the characteristics of the materials, such as canvas fabric woven on a shuttle loom that has been used for many years in Kojima, Kurashiki, and Italian leather that becomes more beautiful with use, our craftsmen carefully sew each bag by hand.
The brand name "WE ARE ONE" expresses our desire to create unique products that unite producers, sellers, and buyers. We deliver high-quality products that are only possible in a "MADE IN JAPAN" environment, products that you will grow to love the more you spend time with them.
This tough bag is made from "high-density No. 10 canvas produced in Kurashiki" and "Texas leather from Italy" and can be used for both town use and outdoor activities. It is equipped with pockets all around the outside, making it a reliable companion that combines outstanding storage capacity with ease of use. |

Fabric close-up
High-density "No. 10 canvas" woven on a shuttle loom in Kurashiki, the city of textiles.
The canvas is woven at a high density to give it a fluffy texture. It is then paraffin-treated to give it a unique firmness, and the secondary washer and bio-processing process gives it a vintage texture. It is also dyed with direct dyes, so you can enjoy the changes that occur over time in the canvas.

The handle is made of TEMPESTI Texas leather.

-About Texas Leather-
This is a single-padded vegetable tanned leather with hairline finish (straight buff finish) manufactured by TEMPESTI in Italy.
By applying a hairline finish to "ELBAMATT," a representative leather produced by the tannery, it has become a leather that has a linear texture and an oily yet matte feel.
In addition, the leather used is a single butt, a part of the cow that runs from the back to the buttocks and is packed with fiber. It is soaked in plenty of oil using the 'Vacchetta' method, giving it a chewy yet soft texture.
This leather is vegetable tanned and dyed, so the more you use it, the more the color will develop and the more luster that is unique to buffed leather will appear, allowing you to enjoy the changes that occur over time (aging).
There are eight deep pockets surrounding the outer perimeter.
It's easy to take out and use, and some people say they can't put it down because it's surprisingly easy to use...
(Pocket size: 20 x 12 cm)
Capacity is equivalent to eight 2-liter plastic bottles.

It is useful for commuting to work or school, as well as for leisure activities such as outdoor activities and picnics.
The eight side pockets are convenient for storing IC cards, cell phones, plastic bottles, water bottles, and other items you want to take out quickly. When you actually use it, you will realize that there is a big difference in practicality between having pockets and not having them.
