INUJIRUSHI KABAN (Inujirushi Kaban Seisakusho)

There is a tool-like honesty to Inujirushi Kaban. The designs avoid excess and slip naturally into everyday life. That balance has been refined over decades, starting from its founding in 1953.

The signature material is the brand's cotton No.6 canvas. Originally used for industrial purposes, it receives a proprietary treatment to boost durability and water resistance. The "super water-repellent" finish is one of the brand's defining points.

Cotton canvas also has a practical trait: when it gets wet, the weave swells and becomes more resistant to water. Over time, the fabric softens and develops character — an enjoyable shift from crisp structure to a more lived-in feel.

The lineup stays broad. Alongside classic totes and shoulder bags, you will find business-oriented bags, backpacks, and bike bags. Smaller items — like phone pochettes made with cotton No.10 canvas — make it easy to fine-tune your carry for each day.

Founded in 1953, Inujirushi Kaban has continued to make sturdy canvas bags in its Asakusa workshop, Tokyo. The "built-to-last" attitude is part of its charm.

Cotton No.6 canvas with a super water-repellent finish

A key material is cotton No.6 canvas — light yet tough. By applying a proprietary process to industrial-grade canvas, the brand enhances durability and water resistance, while keeping the warm, natural feel of cotton.

Canvas that tightens up when wet

Cotton canvas has a characteristic that the weave swells when wet, helping it resist water. It's a reassuring detail for everyday use across seasons.
