Kawaguchi, SaitamaSince 1927
Leather goods made to be cherished for years, and kind to the earth
Founded in 1927 as a small shop in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, Kawachi Co., Ltd. has been crafting leather goods for more than 90 years. After wartime evacuation and several relocations, the company is now based at its own workshop in Kawaguchi, Saitama, where it continues to make “ALL MADE IN JAPAN” leather goods in collaboration with craftspeople across Japan. In 2024, it launched a new brand, enrio, bringing together long-inherited techniques and sustainable values.


Saitama “Sainokuni” black pig leather, made possible by our own supply chain
Commitment 1
At the heart of our work is leather from Saitama “Sainokuni” black pigs, sourced through our own dedicated supply chain. Each hide is carefully sorted one by one. Compared with ordinary pigskin, black pig leather has a denser fiber structure, offering exceptional strength and a smooth feel. Because this rare leather seldom reaches the market, we preserve the natural marks of each animal’s life, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that gain depth and character the more they are used.

No two colors are ever the same
Commitment 2
Both indigo dyeing and sumi (ink) dyeing use dyes with large particles, which do not penetrate the leather fibers evenly and create a distinctive mottled effect. This unpredictable unevenness gives each piece a one-of-a-kind look that mass-produced goods cannot match. The dyeing method even changes the texture of the leather: indigo-dyed leather is soft, while sumi-dyed leather is slightly firmer. We carry these time-honored dyeing techniques into the future in the form of leather accessories for everyday use.

Durable enough to be passed down through three generations
Commitment 3
We carefully select sturdy hides and craft basic, highly durable products that can be used across three generations of a family. Tanned with tannin, the leather deepens in color and gains luster over time—one of the pleasures of a naturally aging material. By making things that last, we also hope to keep waste to a minimum. Each piece is carefully finished by hand by craftspeople at our own workshop in Kawaguchi, Saitama.
