The bags created by Nishida Nobuko look as if they have simply been made from leather, creating bags that are beautiful in their functionality.

They are like living things.
She has a history of expanding the British fashion brand Vivienne Westwood in Japan, and has been making leather bags for 20 years.
The company uses the highest quality cowhide leather that has been carefully tanned by skilled Italian craftsmen using vegetable tannins such as mimosa and chestnut, without the use of any chemicals, and adheres to a style in which the entire process from material selection, design, cutting of the leather to sewing is done by a single person.

Four years ago, when the world began to worry about the coronavirus pandemic, she suddenly created "Leather Building Blocks."
He created an astonishing number of them, large and small, in all different colors and shapes, even giant cubes and cylinders as tall as he was.
This is undoubtedly art.
That idea, where does the energy come from?
I once read an article that described her as 'like Tsuru's teacher' as she worked quietly and silently alone in her white lab coat and hand-stitched clothes.'

Every time I visit the Daikanyama atelier, I am overwhelmed by the sheer number of beautiful leathers delivered from Italy.
A mysterious world that can usually only be seen in closed atelier is coming to Ginza.
Nobuko Nishida, who is known to be an avid lover of kimonos, is also popular for her bags that can be worn with traditional Japanese clothing.
