Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is supporting leathergoods companies to attend menswear show Pitti Uomo in Florence and Paris-based Man/Woman show through its New Standard Japan Leather project.

The Japanese leather used by leathergoods brand A LEATHER is said to be soft and supple due to the soft water in the tannery’s hometown, Himeji. Its designs (pictured) are inspired by sportswear, military wear and dress styles. “Our mission is to convey Japan's high-quality leather and craftsmanship globally through innovative leather products, and to pass these techniques on to the next generation,” said the founders.
