The presence of hand-dyed leather in a vertical silhouette.

A vertical leather tote bag by Mon Model, luxuriously crafted from Italian crust leather.

The lavish construction, using a single piece of leather for both the front and back, exudes a powerful presence while remaining simple. Its slim, clean appearance, unique to a vertical design, blends naturally into settings ranging from business occasions to weekend outings.

Mon Model’s “Senju-zome” is not a finish that uniformly covers the surface of the leather.

As the artisan carefully assesses the condition of the leather, they build up layer upon layer of dye, deepening the color and creating dimension.
Because a single piece of leather is used extensively on both the front and back, the character of its hand-dyed finish comes through even more vividly.

When large surfaces are finished with a flat coat, they can easily appear monotonous and inexpensive.
However, finishing the leather with Senju-zome gives its surface greater depth, while the colors and luster change depending on how the light falls.

Even when you choose the same color, no two pieces will have exactly the same character.

The variations in tone created by the artisan’s handiwork.
The texture inherent in the leather itself.
The depth created by layering the dye again and again.

All of these elements make this bag a one-of-a-kind piece in the world.

The vertical silhouette creates a sleek impression while offering ample storage capacity.

It measures 33.5 cm in height, 46 cm in width, and 18 cm in depth. It can comfortably hold A4 documents and notebooks. The zippered opening keeps the contents concealed for added peace of mind. With a single-compartment design, it is easy to quickly take documents and belongings in and out, making it suitable for everyday use.

There is also a zippered mini pocket on the back. It is convenient for storing small items you want to access quickly, such as keys and a pass case.

The value of these Bags lies not only in their material or capacity. Using the fine material of Italian crust leather, an artisan takes the time to build up the color layer by layer. Through this process, the leather becomes more than a mere material—it is transformed into a bag with an expression all its own, unique to its owner.

If efficiency were the only consideration, it could be finished more quickly and more uniformly.
But it is precisely because it is not uniform that it is beautiful.

The depth created by the artisan’s multiple layers of dye, along with its one-of-a-kind individuality. While offering the practicality needed for everyday use, this vertical leather tote has the presence of a unique handcrafted work of art.
