The House of Japan Leather

Dakota

Taito, TokyoSince 1939

Natural, unadorned beauty

Princess Traya Co., Ltd., headquartered in Taito-ku, Tokyo, has planned and sold bags, wallets, and more for women and men since its founding in 1939. Born in 1969, Dakota has for more than half a century cherished a timeless style that is not swayed by trends and the appeal of leather that feels more at home in your hand the more you use it. It is this trust in reliable craftsmanship that has led so many people to use its products with affection for so long. Dakota will continue to deliver bags and wallets that grow into a character all your own as they accompany you day after day.

Unpretentious Yet Refined: Timeless, Beautiful Design

Commitment 1

Dakota values letting the maker, the user, and the leather itself be natural and at ease. Rather than relying on showy ornamentation, it draws on the texture and warmth inherent in the materials to create an unpretentious yet refined look. Instead of chasing trends, it carefully selects timeless designs you will want to pick up even years later, so they are hard to tire of over long use and fit naturally into your everyday style.

Practical Design for Every Day, Focused on Ease of Use

Commitment 2

Experienced designers carefully consider every detail while picturing the actual scenes in which the bags and wallets will be used. From pocket placement that makes it easy to put things in and take them out, to lightweight designs that reduce strain on the shoulders and hands, everyday comfort is carefully assessed and given shape. Careful thought also goes into less visible aspects, such as the choice of parts and reinforcement, with an emphasis on making products that can be used for many years.

Genuine Radiance That Grows with Time

Commitment 3

Leather is by nature a material with individual character, such as wrinkles, vein marks, and uneven coloring, all proof that it was once a living creature. Rather than concealing these as flaws, Dakota carefully crafts them as the genuine appeal of the material itself. The moment a piece reaches your hands is not its completion; that is where it begins. Enjoy the process as, with daily use, its luster deepens, its color changes, and it becomes more at home in your hands.
