More about the Brand Owner

Aiko Saeki

Born in Kanagawa. I have been in Osaka for about 15 years. I am fascinated by the folk atmosphere of Osaka, the cityscape that retains a downtown feel, and the craftsmen who are full of humanity, and I want to convey the "uniqueness" unique to the locals. He is a craftsman himself and designs and produces POCOLOCA.

A small step forward to keep the domestic leather goods industry alive.

In Naniwa Ward, Osaka City, where our workshop is located, there have been many leather workshops for a long time, and even now there are many companies such as manufacturers of drums, bags, shoes, and leather wholesalers.

If you walk outside, you will see the leather of drums being dried, and craftsmen carrying large leather tubes walking.

However, the scenery is decreasing year by year, and old factories are being demolished and new condominiums are being built.

While the problems of the decline in the domestic production industry and the aging of artisans cannot be resolved, the young craftsmen who will lead the future here are also doing their best, although they are few of them.

In the meantime, I met a dyer who was dyeing leather in an unusual way. It is a leather that I have never seen before, with unevenness along the pattern of the leather. This dyeing technique is a unique technique discovered by the owner of a dyeing shop through trial and error, and it is a very rare leather that only two parents and children know how to do.

However, due to the characteristics of natural leather and dyeing, it is not suitable for mass production, so there are few products on the market, and it has become a phantom material known only to those who know it in Osaka.

I want people to know more widely that there is such a strange leather in Osaka! With that in mind, I decided to launch a brand with the theme of this material.

We would like to connect the unique materials in our hometown of Osaka with young craftsmen to transmit the Made in Osaka leather brand from the leather town of Osaka and support both sides.

What are we doing?

Osaka-made Omoroi materials and artisan collaboration products nationwide.

We make shoes, bags, accessories, interior goods, etc. with original skeleton pattern leather full of humor like no other.

The craftsmen who make them are all fellow craftsmen in the neighborhood.

Many of them, including myself, are women, working as craftsmen while raising children, or surviving on their own skills in male-dominated industries.

We value transactions at fair prices and collaborate rather than outsource. By doing so, we hope to support the new connections and developments of the craftsmen themselves.

⚫︎Responsibility for manufacturing

I understand that the responsibility to create things without stopping in this era is not to make things that are not necessary. It is important not to overproduce, but to deliver only the necessary quantities to the people who need them.

⚫︎ A once-in-a-lifetime encounter

No two POCOLOCA products are the same. It is also not symmetrical. This is partly because of its characteristics as a material and because of its lean convenience, but it is natural that each one is different from one to another, rather than machine mass production. We hope you will enjoy this as a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

⚫︎ Minimal and lean patterns

In order to make the most of the characteristic pattern, the construction should be as simple as possible. Leather is a by-product of meat, but it is used for the lives of animals. We have taken care not to waste as much as possible by using a lot of square patterns so that there is as little waste as possible, and by applying a patchwork design to the areas with holes and scratches.

⚫︎ Handmade production made by one craftsman from start to finish

Leather Yuzen dyed leather is a very thin and soft leather characterized by its original pattern, dyed color, and unevenness. In order to take advantage of the characteristics of leather, we are particular about the design and manufacturing method that makes it plump and soft. Since the condition differs depending on the part of the leather, each piece is carefully made by craftsmen.

Commitment to the product

⚫︎ "Washable" genuine leather cushion cover

The feature of this leather is that it can be washed even though it is leather. Since it is washed once in the dyeing process, it does not fade after it becomes a product, does not shrink, and does not stain easily, making it an easy-to-clean leather.

In order to be able to wash the whole thing, we used durable cotton fabric on the back and were particular about sewing.

It is the care of the craftsmen that it is a luxurious specification with two-color piping on the leather and a hidden zipper so that it does not get caught.

⚫︎ Thin, light and soft "A4 size compatible" leather tote bag

It is a simple one-piece leather bag without a lining that allows you to enjoy the charm of leather in its entirety.

The thickness of the leather is 0.8 mm. You will be surprised by the thinness and lightness that you can't think of as leather.

It weighs only 220g!

This lightness is very helpful for everyday bags that hold a lot of contents.

It is also popular that the expression changes on the front and back, and it can be used in two ways depending on the outfit of the day.

Even though it is a size that fits A4 vertically, if you fold it vertically and roll it around, it will be about B6 size.

Wrinkles are not noticeable, and it is popular because it is easy to hold because it does not stain easily even if it gets wet in the rain.

⚫︎ Light and fluffy, luxury babouche with all-leather specifications

The Babouche type is popular for its luxurious full-surface leather specification and round and soft comfort.

The weight is 148g in M size, which is surprising how light it is.

It seems that some people are worried about the unique smell and production background of overseas products.

We are made by a female craftsman who specializes in made-to-order babouche in Kobe. It is made simply without adding unnecessary glue, and the leather is made of leather produced in Japan, so you can wear it with confidence.

The insole contains a fluffy sponge and is very comfortable to wear.

The uncoated bare leather fits well on the feet, has good breathability, and can be used comfortably for a long time.

The size development is unisex and 5 sizes. It is popular as a gift.

Who are supporting us?

This time, the products listed in the brand renewal are new products, so there are no wholesale stores.

The previous existing patterns (animal prints) were popular with those who liked the texture of leather and those who liked ethnic and pop patterns. The people who actually buy it are in a slightly higher price range, and there are many women in their 40s and older. It seems that many people buy babouches as gifts, and men are more likely to buy them as gifts.

When I was on the train with my bag, I received a happy comment from a customer who complimented me, saying, "It's a nice bag."
