CRAFSTO
A gender-neutral leather brand born from sustainable materials and Japanese craftsmanship.
CRAFSTO is a Japan-born leather brand built around the keywords "Timeless," "Traditional × Modern" and "Authentic," offering wallets, bags and wear meant to be loved for a long time regardless of generation or gender. Alongside serious materials such as bridle leather and shell cordovan, it adopts vegan leathers like cactus leather and mushroom leather, as well as upcycled leather — balancing environmental consideration with the inheritance of craftsmanship.
Why We Love It
A leather brand making "the vintage of the future." Beyond traditional materials like bridle leather, its products in "vegan leather" made from cactus and mushroom are simply stylish! With designs premised on repairing and using items for a long time, plus genderless styling, it is a new form of luxury that fits the present era.
PROFILE About the Company / Workshop
CRAFSTO is a brand by Heritage Co., Ltd., which manufactures and sells leather goods from a base in Asakusabashi, Tokyo. Carrying on the craftsmanship cultivated in an area that has long flourished as a town of artisans, it shares a new set of values for leather goods with the world, anchored by three keywords: "Timeless," "Traditional × Modern" and "Authentic."
Staple items such as wallets and bags use materials renowned for durability and beautiful aging, including British bridle leather and shell cordovan. Through attention to detailed structural design and stitching, the products break in with use and can be loved for years. Minimal, gender-neutral designs unswayed by style or trend are another hallmark.
At the same time, it actively adopts plant-derived vegan leathers — mushroom leather, corn leather, cactus leather, apple leather — and upcycled leather made from reused waste materials. Collections such as the Future Prism collection balance reduced environmental impact with fashion appeal.
While operating mainly through its online store, its directly managed shop in Asakusabashi offers a place to handle actual products while sensing the atmosphere of artisans at work. It also accepts semi-order consultations such as name engraving and leather-type changes, taking time to craft each piece to fit the user's lifestyle.
It also offers a lifetime free repair program, continually accepting repairs for loose stitching, edge (koba) touch-ups and more — practicing a form of making premised on "using things for a long time." With a consistent approach from material selection to sustainability and after-care, it aims to set a new standard for made-in-Japan leather goods.
A worldview built on "Timeless / Traditional × Modern / Authentic"
Combining the appeal of classic leather with contemporary sensibility, CRAFSTO pursues minimal designs unswayed by trends. Its lineup features gender-neutral products that suit any gender, age or style.
Material design using both genuine and vegan leathers
In addition to high-quality genuine leathers such as bridle leather and shell cordovan, it adopts plant-derived vegan leathers — cactus, mushroom, corn and apple — and upcycled leather made from reused waste. It proposes wallets, bags and wear that draw on the characteristics of each material.
Craftsmanship up close at the Asakusabashi store & atelier
At the directly managed store in Asakusabashi, Taito-ku, Tokyo, you can handle the products and consult staff, and receive careful explanations of the making background and material characteristics. It is a place to actually experience the texture of leather and the feel of vegan leather that is hard to convey online.
A lifelong companion via lifetime free repair and semi-order
With a lifetime free repair program covering loose stitching and hardware replacement after purchase, the brand operates on a value of "repair and reuse." It also accepts semi-orders such as name engraving and changing the interior leather color, taking time to craft a piece that fits each individual user.
