Takumics Craftsmanship
Timeless beauty and functionality spun by artisans. High-quality leather, beautiful metal. Our products, assembled by skilled artisans from these materials, create a character that will last a long time in your daily life.
Products that develop a unique character with use bring you the joy of owning and using them.
Since starting this job, I've seen and touched many leathers, both domestic and international. Among them, the leathers I chose to create the Takumics brand were Italian, Belgian, and Japanese indigo-dyed leather.
In a fast-paced world, we create designs that harmonize and refine classic elements with materials to create timeless pieces. This is what we call retro standards. We always strive to maintain practicality and the often-lost beauty of design, and we create original designs for our products.
Our products are carefully handcrafted by our skilled artisans.
In the Made in Japan leather goods industry, where successors are scarce, the average age of artisans is said to be in their 70s. As craftsmen, we strive every day to pass on the techniques passed down by our predecessors to the next generation, further refine them, and ensure that our products do not fall behind overseas products.
Takumics Aged Leather
The final touch is your color.
At Takumics, we select leather from the many available on the market, focusing on the appearance it will have when shaped.
Smooth, tanned leather changes color over time, allowing you to enjoy the aging process.
Dyes change color more deeply due to exposure to UV rays and other factors.
The leather is certainly beautiful when it arrives, but we hope you will continue to dye it in your own color as part of your life, as it becomes your own history.
Make the most of the supple texture of this grained, chrome-tanned leather and enjoy its textured surface and matte color.
Each piece of Takumics brand leather has its own unique expression and pattern.
Just like people, cows have their own personalities. We believe it's up to our artisans to preserve and value this precious leather, which is made from the lives of animals and plants.
