The concept is "Travel Tools"

Vasco is a Japanese brand that creates bags and leather accessories based on the concept of "travel tools."
Vascofagama (Vasco da Gama) was a great navigator and explorer who pioneered new continents during the Age of Discovery. We named our product "VASCO" with the desire to reflect in our manufacturing the insatiable spirit of challenge that this ancient traveler continued to pursue throughout his life.

Vasco manages all processes from planning, sample production, to mass production. He says, "Items made with the same consciousness have a real impact that cannot be expressed in words."

The concept of "Travel Tools" conveys the meaning of "things that remain even as others are selected out," and we create heavy-duty items that will not lose their luster over time.

Atelier

Vasco's manufacturing is based in Koenji, Tokyo.
In the atelier, which was renovated to resemble an old sailing ship or port warehouse, a small group of elite craftsmen use handmade techniques to produce a wide variety of bags and leather accessories.

Craftsman ship

Each of Vasco's craftsmen is highly skilled and has a keen sense of style. Rather than following an assembly line, each craftsman handles the entire process from pattern making to sewing and finishing by himself/herself.

Our craftsmen are well versed in leather knowledge, sewing, and finishing, which allows them to express sensory nuances and particular details that are difficult to put into words.

At Vasco, which continues to evolve as a world-class professional group, we believe that Made In Japan does not mean "made in Japan" but rather that "the Japanese spirit resides in the product."
