Hawser is an exclusive line launched in January 2021 by PELLE MORBIDA, a Japanese bag brand established in 2012. Named after the rope used to moor a ship, it offers leather bags designed for use in business, everyday life, and travel. Its design philosophy draws a parallel between Japanese artisans and the hawser that supports a ship and the line handlers who assist with docking. Signature details include handles with rope-inspired mesh embossing and metal hardware inspired by ships’ mooring equipment. The line continues as a special collection available at select stores.
Concept
The brand aims to continue valuing its collaborative efforts with Japanese artisans so that customers will love Morbida products for years to come.
