The distinctive feature of our products is their craftsmanship.
We would like to introduce three distinctive products.
(1) A mysteriously designed wallet with lace fabric pressed into leather
This product is made of metallic kip leather and real lace fabric pressed onto leather to create a wallet. It is an interesting product with a duality: it looks soft and lacy on the outside, but when you actually hold it in your hand, you can feel the leather.
(2) Intrecciato wallets

This is the same process used for Bottica Beneca's iconic wallets made of mesh. Each piece of leather is cut into ribbons and threaded by hand through the incised leather. The design will have a thick ribbon at the top of the purse and a narrow ribbon at the bottom with different mesh widths.
(3) Wallets incorporating leather scraps into the design

This product is a wallet with leather scraps in the design. The top opening of the wallet will be designed using the scraps of leather left over from the making of the wallet. The spirit of craftsmanship that utilizes the advanced techniques of incorporating scrap leather into the design can be felt in the work.
Arukan has a long history, having been established in 1958, and has developed a large number of products that showcase the know-how accumulated in various products and the craftsmanship that has been applied to them.
