We have used various types of leather to create a wide range of leather accessories.
Which leather to use and what shape to create—there are reasons and much trial and error behind these decisions. We aim for a harmony between the leather and the product's form, sometimes seeking compatibility, other times aiming for an element of surprise. The more the product is used, and through feedback from those who use it, we often discover new insights.
A leather that showcases the strength and density, highlighting the unique qualities of goat leather.
Scratch-resistant, soft, and supple—yet it doesn't lose its shape, even when carrying heavy items. When using our original 'Still' leather, you really feel the 'strength' of goat leather. The pure quality of the leather is undeniable, and its comfort is widely appreciated. We've embodied the advantages of 'Still' in the form of a drawstring bag called the 'Canister Bottle.' Its popularity speaks for itself, and many people discover REN through this product.
A simple design, thanks to its high density.
For example, at the opening of the drawstring bag, holes are punched very close to the stitching to thread the cord, without any additional reinforcement. This structure is usually avoided, but it was made possible by using high-density goat leather. Naturally, we have thoroughly tested the tensile strength as well.
The edges of the opening are left raw, creating a sharp look. This is also the secret to achieving the beautiful drape.
Though it has a simple design, it incorporates unique innovations. For example, while most drawstring bags are closed by pulling the strings from both sides, with the Canister Bottle, you can close it by pulling the bag downward while it’s still on your shoulder.
Because of this, the cord structure is also simple. As the leather softens over time, the weight of the items inside naturally closes the opening.
A compact yet spacious 'four-dimensional pocket' bag.
As the name 'Still' implies, meaning quiet or serene, the leather has a calm and composed surface. At the same time, it is tough, resisting both losing its shape and getting scratched.
To make the most of this, it may look delicate and compact, but in reality, it boasts both strength and large capacity—fitting a wallet, phone, handkerchief, a 500ml bottle, and even a folding umbrella.
We secretly call it a 'four-dimensional pocket.'
The deliberately intricate back side.
Originally, the linen-blend lining was added to prevent the outlines of items from showing through to the outside.
We closely studied the impact that this stiffness has on the overall structure of the bag. As a result, the bag remains light and soft, yet holds its shape even when carrying heavy items. Additionally, the piping wrapped around the edges for reinforcement also serves as a framework to maintain the bag's round silhouette. Though these details are hidden, we intentionally chose not to simplify the process.
The ease of use is also a result of the thoughtful design applied to the interior.
Leather and form.
The delicacy and suppleness of the Still leather are fully brought to life through the structure of the Canister Bottle, allowing its qualities to shine.
Furthermore, the bold design of the Canister Bottle is refined and made even more simple by using the high-density Still leather.
Leather and form.
The synergy between the two is essential for creating excellent products. As both creators and users, we experience this firsthand and continue to embrace it every day.
