vasco / Old Oil Series

Modernizing USMAIL Postman's Mailbag

This leather shoulder bag is a modernized version of the mail bags made for USMAIL postmen from the early 1900s to the 1960s.
The convenient A4 size makes it suitable for both men and women.
You can choose whether or not to have the USMAIL stamp engraved.

The original leather used is "OLD OIL," which is made from full vegetable tanned leather from Himeji, tanned with tannins extracted from mimosa and chestnut, and carefully dyed one piece at a time using a traditional handmade method called "Oka-zome." After that, it is saturated with plenty of oil and finished with a unique burnishing process to give it a vintage-like texture.
The more you use it, the more glossy and texture it will become, allowing you to enjoy the changes over time.

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."
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 challenge that ancient travelers pursued throughout their lives.
Vasco is involved in 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" embodies the meaning of "things that remain even as others are eliminated," 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 has both solid technical skills and a sense of style, and rather than following an assembly line, they carry out the entire process from pattern making to sewing and finishing by themselves.
Our craftsmen are well versed in leather knowledge, sewing, and finishing, which allows them to express the 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 "the Japanese spirit resides in the product."
