YVN 221-Satchel Bag “Studio Prototype”

A classic satchel, built with the intention to stay with you for a very long time. The YVN 221 is made from extra-thick Japanese Himeji leather, pit-tanned with natural tannins. It starts with a firm structure and a clean, traditional presence—then deepens in color and character as you use it. With time, it becomes uniquely yours, while maintaining its shape and strength. Historically, satchels were valued for durability and function. We keep that spirit, while adding thoughtful modern features for travel and everyday carry—so it works with many styles and many routines.
