Tsuchiya Kaban Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Adachi-ku, Tokyo), which originated as a randoseru (school backpack) workshop, will hold a limited-time pop-up store to sell our bags and leather goods that have been collected from customers and repaired. Sales will take place at four of our locations: the Jiyugaoka store (April to May), the Nishiarai main store (August to September), the Kobe store (October), and the Fukuoka store (January 2027), where a dedicated corner will be set up inside the stores.
We will collect products that customers no longer use free of charge, clean them, and sell them as valuable, unique items full of character. Prices will be kept at around 40% to 75% of the original retail price. After the sale, we will offer return guarantees and repair services (for a fee) just like new products, ensuring a comprehensive after-sales support system.
The sales period at the first location, the Jiyugaoka store, will be from April 29 (Wed) to May 18 (Mon), and the sales period at each store is scheduled to be about two to three weeks. Sales will end as soon as the approximately 750 items are sold out. Also, in response to requests from many customers, we will hold the event at the Kobe and Fukuoka stores this time.
The collected products will be carefully repaired and maintained by our specialized reuse craftsmen at our workshop in Nishiarai, Tokyo. Depending on the condition of the product, we perform leather maintenance such as cleaning, moisturizing, and color restoration, as well as replacing the inner lining, swapping damaged parts (such as zippers), and fixing frayed threads before they are displayed in stores.
The items up for resale will include discontinued products that were previously sold as limited edition colors, such as oil nume zip-top shoulder bags, tote bags, and backpacks, allowing customers to feel the history of Tsuchiya Kaban.
Our reuse initiative, which started in 2021, is now entering its sixth year. Utilizing the know-how we have cultivated so far, we will continue to further our efforts to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
