Reji bukuro - Camel / pigskin Hallie

The design takes inspiration from the familiar plastic shopping bag found in everyday life. Stitching is kept as hidden as possible for a clean, simple appearance, while the raw-cut edges are intentionally left minimally finished to preserve the natural character of the leather—a detail that reflects REN’s approach to design.

This shape pairs especially well with Hallie pigskin. Strong yet soft, the leather naturally expands when carrying heavier items and relaxes into a soft, slouchy shape. The gussets at the sides add to this flexibility.

The softly gathered handles are designed with a comfortable width that makes them easy to hold. One handle can also be slipped through the other to bring them together for carrying.

The size comfortably accommodates A4 documents and a laptop without feeling too large or too small. Like the familiar shopping bag that inspired its design, its everyday proportions are precisely what make it so easy to use.

HALLIE

This is REN's original pigskin. Pig skin is a material that is relatively prone to scratches and uneven coloring, and was commonly used as a backing material. However, we saw its potential in its light weight, high density, durability despite its thinness, breathability, and fabric-like suppleness. By studying the differences in density and texture of different parts of the hides, as well as the dyes used, and by developing a method that wastes as little raw hides as possible, the appeal of this material is now reaching many people.

［ Notes on Product Purchases ］
Because it is natural leather, REN makes bags without discarding the scratches, grains, and uneven coloring that are part of the leather's character. Scratches do not disappear, but the more you use the leather, the more the surface of the leather becomes shiny and the more the scratches and color irregularities become familiar.

［ About color migration and color fading]

If worn with denim, indigo-dyed or cotton clothing, the color of the clothing may transfer to the leather due to friction. Also, if the bag gets wet due to rain, sweat, or friction, the color of the leather may transfer to your clothing. Please be careful when matching the bag with bright clothing.

［ Storage Method ]

If not used for a long period of time, store in a well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in a humid place as it may cause mold and leather deterioration.
