Overview

L.E.D.BITES is a Japanese bags and leather goods brand based in Tokyo. In June 1998, its founding members established Gardens L.E.D. Co., Ltd., and the brand launched in January 2000 after 18 months of development. Its products focus on bags, wallets, and card cases, using materials including cowhide, cordovan, python, and stingray leather. The brand name was chosen around the main themes of Life, Ecology, and Domestic, reflecting an intention to “bite into the times.” Its two main concepts are “masculine ruggedness” and “Wild & Simple.” The first designer was Mitsuo Sato; Katsuyuki Kodama took over design in 2007, and the brand also developed L.E.D.BITES EARTH, made with recycled materials. Its products are still available through the official online store.
