Overview

Tagline

From Kurayoshi to the world

BARCOS is a Japanese brand of women’s bags and leather goods, founded in 1991 in Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture. It sells through a range of channels, including department stores, select shops, television shopping, mail order, and the internet, and also engages in collaborative product planning through OEM and ODM. Based on the concept of “making the various scenes of modern women’s lives beautiful and rich,” the brand continues to create bags in pursuit of “Beloved Quality,” which goes beyond quality that is visible to the eye.
