vasco / LEATHER WAIST BAG -LARGE

vasco / old oil series

A modern take on the fanny bag that became mainstream during the hippie movement in the 1970s.

Himeji-produced full vegetable tanned kid leather and thick cow leather are dyed using a traditional hand-dyed method called "Okazome" to create a vintage look. The body is made of soft kid leather, the shoulder straps are made of thick cow leather, and the liner is made of durable canvas. The more you use it, the better it fits your body.
Both metal fittings are made of brass, which changes over time, and the bag uses old American-style UNIVERSAL zippers.

old oil series

A unique collection that symbolizes the brand

The "Old Oil" series has a vintage look and feel, created using a traditional hand-dyeing technique known as "Oka-zome."
The full vegetable tanned leather from Himeji, tanned with tannins extracted from mimosa and chestnut, is then painstakingly dyed in multiple layers by Vasco craftsmen with their skilled techniques.
The more you use it, the more glossy and texture it will become, allowing you to enjoy the changes over time.
The process is posted at the bottom of the page.

Inner material

It is made of canvas material with excellent durability.

Brand Story

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 it "VASCO" with the desire to reflect in our manufacturing the insatiable spirit of adventure that travelers of the past continued to pursue throughout their lives.
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."
