We are pleased to announce the restock of our regular items.
The "SHAFTER" banana bag, crafted from STRUM's signature full-tannin, pit-tanned, and shrunk horsehide, is back in stock.
This versatile bag features a banana-shaped silhouette that contours to the body and a design detail incorporating a round carabiner embedded into the leather.
Starting today, you can purchase the product at our flagship shop, official online store, and authorized dealers nationwide.
The leather used is STRUM's signature "full-tannin, pit-tanned, shrunk horsehide."
This leather is produced in Japan by full-tannin tanning raw horsehides in pit tanks. Embracing the characteristic abundance of natural marks found on horsehide, the process utilizes only hides with significant markings and involves a lengthy full-tannin tanning period of approximately three months in the pits.
It is further tumbled with the application of heat, shrinking it to half its original size (from 2m to 1m) and creating a striking appearance characterized by surface scratches and a distinctive pebbled texture.
While the full-tannin finish gives it a rugged, substantial appearance, the leather is infused with a generous amount of oil to ensure elasticity and suppleness, prioritizing comfort in wear.
It measures 42 cm in width and 32 cm in height. This banana bag is designed with an exquisite balance—neither too compact nor too large—and features a minimalist shape that contours naturally to the body.
The shoulder strap is intentionally designed to be extra-long, serving as a stylish accent while allowing for flexible adjustment to ensure a comfortable fit.
