Japanese brand Tsuchiya Kaban has come up with quirky bag ideas over the years, including one designed to hold a snowman and another to carry around a watermelon.
Now, the leather goods company has come up with a backpack for a special furry friend. That’s right, dogs are getting their very own crafted bags to tote around.
Interestingly, the design for the miniature carry-on was inspired by the country’s iconic ‘randoseru’—a school backpack commonly donned by students.
Even more heartwarmingly, there’s a special message behind the leather used to craft the item. As the material matures beautifully, it symbolizes the growing bond between a pet and its owner.
Of course, the bag also prioritizes the comfort and well-being of the beloved furry friends. It’s attached to an adjustable leather harness, which is designed to fit snugly on a dog's back.
The straps, made of nylon, ensure that neither the dog nor the owner experiences any strain, while the clever design of the buckle allows for easy adjustment of the straps, ensuring a perfect fit every time.
For leisurely walks or spontaneous runs, an optional leash can be directly attached to the backpack on the go.
The special launch will be available online from December 14, 2023, or in-person at a Shibuya pop-up store from November 1, 2023. Head here for more details.
