With the launch of our accessories shop Trunk LABS last year, we also introduced a new brand to the West that had never before been sold outside of Japan. Ichizawa Shinzaburo Hanpu is a bag maker with an uncommon, longstanding dedication to a set of principles that, in recent years, have become buzzwords – tradition, craftsmanship and quality. For Ichizawa however, these principles are no trend. The company has remained a family enterprise for four generations, making and selling canvas bags in Kyoto for more than one hundred years.
Each bag that leaves Ichizawa’s Kyoto workshop is made by an expert artisan working in tandem with an apprentice, who must gain at least seven years’ experience before being allowed to sew their first bag together. This level of dedication to quality and craft permeates every aspect of the business, making an Ichizawa Hanpu bag one of the most luxurious accessories in the world, despite its utilitarian origins and aesthetic.
Trunk remains the sole, exclusive stockist of Ichizawa outside of Japan. This spring we have expanded our range, introducing new models and colours to our selection of tote bags, and offering a rucksack for the first time.
