Embracing their namesake, the brand deliberately slows down the creative process, meticulously refining every detail and upholding unwavering principles in their craftsmanship. Their design philosophy centers on a relaxed, tasteful aesthetic, reinterpreting classic European and American styles to create understated yet sophisticated essentials. This uniquely designed bag offers a blend of comfort and simplicity. Its thoughtful exterior and exquisite material selection speak for themselves, requiring no excessive adornment. Whether for the workplace or casual outings, it effortlessly complements your extraordinary fashion sense. Crafted from premium full vegetable-tanned cowhide, exclusively produced for SLOW by a century-old tannery in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. This leather is made from Canadian hides, tanned using plant-based tannins. The process involves over six months of soaking, sun-drying, surface leveling, and oil pressing. The surface retains its natural textures and rich, oily sheen, developing a deep, lustrous patina with daily use. The flap closure features a metal snap button, with leather tabs on the inside edges of the bag for enhanced security. Inside, you'll find one front storage compartment, a large central compartment, and a small rear pocket. The bag's edges are finished with leather trim stitching, showcasing exceptional attention to detail and a refined construction. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54470230341_1d27d6a780_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54470496158_5be06ed982_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54469387282_d270d5bf49_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54470584550_bcd4a35fb0_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54470496153_611e9f69bf_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54470428289_a89cd6709c_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54470428284_d494ea95ae_o.jpg Dimensions: W240/H160/D100 (mm) Weight: Approximately 550g Origin: Made in Japan
