A LEATHER is a Japanese leather-specialist brand launched in Osaka in March 2022 by designer and director Toshikazu Nagaoka. It uses leather, a by-product of meat and dairy production, and offers men’s and women’s wear, including leather jackets and pants, as well as shoes, bags, and accessories. The brand is committed to domestic production, from tanning in Himeji to cutting and sewing in Osaka, including the materials used. With the concept “Innovation meets Tradition” (innovation for the beauty of tradition), it aims to share Japanese leather and techniques with the world and pass them on to the next generation.
