The Superior Labor
The Superior Labor is a Japanese lifestyle brand founded in 2007 by husband-and-wife artisan duo Makoto and Yoshimi Kawai. Known for their premium canvas and leather bags, the brand has achieved global recognition. The bags are designed to soften and develop character with use, becoming uniquely yours over time. Based in the rural region of Kaga-gun in Okayama Prefecture, skilled artisans at The Superior Labor make each product entirely by hand - down to every last detail.
The Superior Labor has been handcrafting exceptional goods since 2007. Founded by husband-and-wife artisan team Makoto and Yoshimi Kawai, the brand has earned global recognition for its canvas and leather bags, notebook covers, and pen cases.
Every product by The Superior Labor is created entirely in-house by skilled artisans who take immense pride in their craft. From cutting and sewing canvas to tanning leather, stenciling designs, and assembling every single brass detail, each step is done by hand to ensure unparalleled quality. This dedication to traditional methods and attention to detail results in pieces that last and age beautifully.
Environmentally responsible approach is at the heart of The Superior Labor’s philosophy, which reflects a deep respect for the materials and the environment. Explore The Superior Labor online at Bookbinders Design with delivery available Australia-wide or visit our Melbourne store.
