This leather pouch bag is a modern reinterpretation of an officer’s pouch used by the U.S. Army around the 1940s.
Designed with a detachable shoulder strap, it offers versatile 2-way functionality—use it as a shoulder pouch or as a bag-in-bag for everyday convenience.
The bag is finished with a vintage-style “UNIVERSAL ZIPPER,” adding to its classic character.
The initials “B.L.W.” are printed, standing for “Baggage Load Wanderlust,” meaning the urge to pack your bags and set off wandering.
The material used is our original “OLD OIL LEATHER,” made from Himeji-produced full vegetable-tanned leather, tanned with natural tannins extracted from mimosa and chestnut. Each piece is carefully dyed by hand using a traditional method known as “Oka-zome,” then richly infused with oil.
A unique scorching process gives the leather a deep, vintage-inspired character.
With continued use, the leather develops a richer luster and deeper patina, allowing you to fully enjoy its aging process over time.
