Innovative set of products combining leather and wood

The main products under Leather Development Co., Ltd.‘s VARCO leather goods brand are wallets and bags that combine wooden materials with leather. This mix of wood and leather is something that didn’t exist before and presented a real challenge. However, there were soon to be business inquiries from popular stationary stores following an exhibition at the Tokyo International Gift Show, a trade show for miscellaneous goods.

A young team enjoying manufacturing without being bound by tradition

Young employees in their 20s and 30s are at the heart of this company. Unbound by tradition, they strive for quality by using methods they can agree with.

Seeing their work, a product of nights on end of trial and error, catch the eye of buyers is the reason why they enjoy manufacturing. Motivated by the joys of manufacturing, they continue to make their products.
