TAKU KYOTO
TAKU KYOTO is a leather studio based in Keihoku, Kyoto, Japan.
Since 2006, each piece has been made by hand — from everyday leather objects and bags to motorcycle seats and one-of-a-kind works.
We value the character of the material, the traces of the hand, and objects that grow richer with time.
Made in Kyoto. Made one by one.
CRAFT
Made by hand, one piece at a time.
Every piece is shaped, stitched and finished by hand in Kyoto. We value the small irregularities and traces of the maker that give each object its own character.
MATERIAL
Materials that grow more beautiful with time.
We choose leather and other materials for their texture, strength and ability to age gracefully. Scratches, wear and changing color become part of the object’s story.
STORY
Objects made to carry a story.
A piece is not complete when it leaves the workshop. It changes through use, travels with its owner, and slowly becomes something personal.
ART WORK
Leather beyond function.
One-of-a-kind objects and experimental works by TAKU.
