Atelier Boston chumame

Kawanishi Kaban (Kawanishi Kaban Product Co., Ltd. / Representative: Atsushi Kawanishi), a leather goods company based in Kagawa Prefecture, will launch the "Atelier Boston chumame," a small boston bag. The price is 18,900 yen (tax included). Combining lightweight and durable canvas with leather that develops a rich patina over time, it's sized to carry essentials without excess. It will be available for purchase on the official online shop starting at noon on July 4, 2026 (Sat).

◆Topic Summary

- Downsized version of the classic boston bag

- Weighs only 240g - Compact yet holds a 500ml plastic bottle

- Canvas x Leather that ages beautifully - Available in 4 colors: Ecru/Red/Olive/Greige

◆From Travel Boston Bag to Everyday Size

Enjoy the changing texture

Instead of a large travel boston bag, this is a perfect size for daily outings. With the separately sold shoulder strap attachment, it can also be worn over the shoulder, allowing for versatile carrying options depending on the scene.

The main body uses ALBERTON canvas, which has been a long-loved material for Kawanishi Kaban's Atelier (formerly Otona Canvas) line. It boasts a fine texture and durability, along with water repellency from paraffin processing. The handles and name tag are made of Tochigi Leather. As it's used, it gains luster and character, allowing you to enjoy the material's aging process.

◆Enjoy Daily Use and Aging

Lightweight yet Durable Bag

Despite its compact appearance, it can comfortably hold daily essentials such as a 500ml plastic bottle, a long wallet, a smartphone, a key case, and a small pouch. The horizontal boston shape also has a wide opening, making it easy to put items in and take them out.

The main body weighs just 240g. It can be easily used in various everyday situations, such as going to the neighborhood store, shopping, or walking around town on a trip. The underside of the handle is reinforced with a round-cut leather piece, ensuring both hidden beauty and durability.
