WASHIKA is born from a company dedicated to leather bag-making.
Based in Ogaki, Gifu Prefecture, we have spent years crafting bags and apparel. Through selecting materials, cutting, stitching, and shaping each piece, we have accumulated deep expertise in the art of making.
Along this journey, we discovered handmade washi paper.
Each washi sheet is unique. To use it in bags, we employ specialized processing, design, and craftsmanship to ensure it functions beautifully and durably.
WASHIKA incorporates washi as a core material, applying our bag-making expertise and experience to create bags designed for everyday use.
Our goal is not simply to use washi paper.
We honor the material's natural character while considering every detail—the lightness when held, ease of use, how it pairs with leather, and meticulous construction.
This is how WASHIKA bags are born—thoughtfully combining washi paper and leather.
Japanese craftsmanship for modern living.
As a company with a heritage of bag-making, we unlock the potential of washi in ways only we can—creating new possibilities for this traditional material.
