Our collaboration with The Superior Labor has arrived in Charlotte!
✈️🌎🧳
These items will be available Thursday, April 30th at 12:00pm est.
If you missed it, we’ve been working on our collab with T.S.L and had the great pleasure to visit their workshop in Japan to see the items being made!
(Check out our video about the trip a month back!)
The Superior Labor creates hand-crafted bags, leather goods, and stationery accessories in a converted 1940’s schoolhouse in the mountains close to Okayama, in a cozy place called Nap Village. The company is owned by husband and wife team, Makoto and Yoshimi, and is staffed by craftsmen and women who create each piece with careful skill and intention. Their goods are made from the finest leathers, canvas, and brass materials. Every item is hand printed, painted, embossed, cut, sewn, and finished. They work alongside three shop dogs, Grand, Porky, and Toi, who bring even more joy to their zen factory.
