Less like carrying, more like wearing
Why the BARE Series Fits Seamlessly into Your Life and Body.
REN’s popular BARE series is crafted from supple goatskin. Tough enough for everyday use — from work to leisure — yet beautifully soft and relaxed in feel. Here, we share the genuine appeal of this uniquely flexible series.
Goatskin is known for its fine, even grain, exceptional strength, and resistance to losing its shape. Despite its durability and abrasion resistance, it remains soft and pleasant to the touch — qualities that make it a well-loved material.
We intentionally leave the natural variations of the leather — its individual character and uneven grain — just as they are. Rather than over-processing, we preserve the organic nuances exactly as nature created them. This allows each piece to fit effortlessly to the user’s own individuality and body over time.
Wear it, and feel effortlessly light.
First, simply touch it. Crumple it in your hand, squeeze it, hold it the way you would in everyday use — casually, without hesitation. Feel the full softness and relaxed drape of the goatskin, just as it is.
Even when carried on the shoulder or in the hand.
From the very first day you hold it, it rests against you with the quiet familiarity of a longtime companion.
It may sound contradictory, but carrying a bag is what allows me to feel even more free and unburdened.
A bag should never become a burden. It should never interfere with what you wear.
That’s why BARE is not something you “carry,” but something you wear. Much like glasses or a hat can become part of one’s identity— almost an extension of the body itself— BARE gently adapts to anyone and any way of living.
BARE doesn’t feel quite as comfortable with pieces that are heavy or sharply structured.
The things we want to keep in our bags differ from person to person. And that’s why, when we come across a bag that truly fits our own life, it can feel almost fated — as if we’ve finally “found the one.”
A laptop and smartphone are essential for my work.
For managing my schedule and jotting down notes, I still prefer a paper notebook and a pen. In the inner pocket, I like to keep my lipstick and foundation within easy reach. If I’m in the middle of a paperback, I want it with me so I can read whenever I find a moment. And when I travel, I want to take photos with my camera.
However, when I put angular items like a notebook or lipstick inside, their shapes can sometimes show through the surface. And if I carry heavier things, such as a laptop or a camera, the silhouette may lose its shape.
But looking at it another way, what you choose to carry leaves traces of your life on the bag itself.
And that naturally deepens your sense of attachment.
In many ways, it reflects the goatskin’s natural softness and relaxed character.
Whether you choose a bag based on what you want to carry, or decide what to carry based on the bag — I hope you enjoy both approaches just the same.
The handle length, just the way you like it.
So that anyone — regardless of gender or body type — can use it with complete comfort. So you can change the way you carry or wear it instantly, depending on your mood or outfit.
Tie it, loosen it. Cinch it, shift it.
The shoulder strap itself functions as an adjuster.
To let you experience the pure texture of goatskin, we avoid using metal fittings or plastic as much as possible. This allows the bag to rest more naturally and comfortably against the body. It’s also a small design choice that preserves its refined appearance.
