The body is made of full vegetable-tanned leather produced by Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd., founded in 1937 and regarded as one of the finest tanneries in Japan. The company is known worldwide as a specialist in full vegetable tanning in pit tanks, a time-honored traditional method. Tanned slowly with powdered tannins extracted from the bark of South American mimosa, this pure vegetable-tanned leather is shaped by masterful craftsmanship into a rugged yet highly refined material. The leather used by SLOW is made to order for SLOW by Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd., and combines firm body with a soft hand. SLOW's signature tote, updated for today's lifestyles. Perfectly sized to hold a 14-inch laptop or A4 files neatly, it balances a presence befitting business settings with everyday practicality. Careful artisan handwork and fine materials make it tough enough for daily use, and its expression deepens the more it is used. An interior hanging pocket is designed to keep small items that tend to go astray separate. A quintessential SLOW piece whose quality and practicality you will appreciate every time you pick it up.
