The PIG SKIN・HALLIE bag series uses REN’s original pigskin, which highlights the natural texture of the leather. This material embraces scratches and color inconsistencies as part of the leather’s character, finishing it with a matte texture and a soft touch, emphasizing natural tones without unnecessary processing. It is lightweight, abrasion-resistant, and has a characteristic of being less prone to fuzz on the backside. REN started its activities in 2005 in Kuramae, Tokyo, and opened its first directly-managed store in 2012. Currently, it has stores in Kagurazaka and Yokohama as well. Known for their “simplicity,” “lightness,” and “material texture,” REN offers a variety of products such as bags, wallets, and small items. At the time of the brand’s establishment, cowhide was mainstream, but REN focused on pigskin in pursuit of unique value. Pigskin, often used as lining material due to its many scratches and color inconsistencies, was discovered to have potential due to its lightness, high density providing durability, breathability, and the flexibility akin to fabric. To minimize waste of raw hides, REN studies the differences in density and texture of each part, using them appropriately. Unlike imported leather from cows and goats, REN’s products use pigskin sourced domestically in Japan. They make full use of scratches and color variations as characteristics, achieving the strength, lightness, and flexibility of their bags. They maintain the philosophy of wanting customers to use their products as daily items without worrying too much because they are made of leather. We hope that you will enjoy the natural texture of leather and the changes over time, without worrying about scratches and stains from use. We aim for our products to be used casually for a long time. Please try the PIG SKIN・HALLIE bag series.
