Bags that fit your daily life. A talented Toyooka workshop that created "TUTUMU."｜Kiwada Masaaki Shoten
Water-repellent nylon "KONBU-N" from Ishikawa; the high-grade Italian leather "Pueblo."
Kiwada Masaaki Shoten's bag making begins with finding "good materials."
Sure-handed craft brings the potential of those materials to the full.
An insatiable quest for materials
Founded in 1959, "Kiwada Masaaki Shoten" has a workshop in Toyooka City, Hyogo — Japan's largest bag-making city. They are a capable maker that has handled OEM work for famous brands for many years, clearing strict quality standards. Drawing on that technical capability, their own brand "TUTUMU" — under the concept of gently wrapping treasures, with a natural, warm design — has become a hit, especially among women. They also collaborate with functional bag brands "beruf baggage" and "CIE" (handling production), delivering high-performance "Toyooka Kaban" with high-tech materials to the world.
Why "Kiwada Masaaki Shoten" Is Chosen | 3 Reasons
The hit brand "TUTUMU"
An original brand under the concept of "TUTUMU" (wrapping) precious treasures gently. With a special nylon material with a dry texture and a rounded silhouette without corners, it has high popularity in select shops in Kobe.
High functionality through collaboration
Actively collaborates with sensitive brands — "beruf baggage" for cyclists, "CIE" by Real Works. The partner handles design, Kiwada Masaaki Shoten handles production — achieving both design and toughness.
Commitment to integrated production
Unusually in Toyooka, they have a system that produces consistently — from cutting and sewing to inspection — within their own workshop. This enables fine-grained quality control and prompt after-sales support such as repairs.
Editor's Note
When you say "Kiwada Masaaki Shoten," it has to be the "TUTUMU" backpack. At a glance it looks like an ordinary nylon backpack, but the silhouette on your back is really cute. Square, but with rounded corners, so it doesn't lose its shape even when packed full. And above all, it's light! The water-repellent finish works too, so you can use it without worry on rainy days. Backed by the "Toyooka Kaban" guarantee, the solid after-care (including repair support) is reassuring.

TUTUMU books
A size that fits a textbook. A 2-way backpack with a charmingly round shape.

Canvas PU × Leather Soft Brief
Stands up to rain and resists scratches. A tough partner for businesspeople.
A Toyooka Kaban-certified business brief. A PU (polyurethane) coating over the canvas surface achieves both a leather-like texture and waterproofness.

The image of a market (marche) basket. Plenty of room and gentle on the shoulders.

haaki Leather Pueblo Shoulder
A leather you nurture: Pueblo. Italian leather, lavishly used.
