About BLUNO
Chigasaki and West Tanzawa, Kanagawa.
We make small leather goods in our two ateliers.
Vegetable-tanned leather and tin we cast ourselves.
Honoring the character of each material,
we make pieces to use for years, one at a time.
01 Leather & tin
Different materials,
one form.
Italian vegetable-tanned leather that grows more lustrous with use. Individually cast tin that holds a soft glow.
Choosing the leather, making the tin molds, stitching, and finishing. At Bluno, making begins with getting to know our materials.
02 About the maker
The maker’s hands,
at every stage.
After working at a financial institution and an IT company, I became a leather craftsman. I approach my work with a love for the beauty created when leather and tin, two different materials, come together.

03 Workshops
One stitch at a time,
with your own hands.
Feel the leather, thread the needle, and give it shape.
Why not experience leathercraft at our atelier?
Hand-stitch everyday items such as key cases and wallets using Italian leather. You can take your finished piece home the same day.
04 Aging & repairs
The more you use it,
the more it becomes your own.
01 / Let it develop
Time, layered into leather and tin.
Leather develops a deep luster, while tin takes on a mellow character. Enjoy how each material changes through everyday life.
02 / Care for it
Keep the things you love close.
We offer basic repairs resulting from normal use, such as loose stitching and snap replacement, free of charge. If you live farther away, you can also arrange to send your item to us by post.
05 Our atelier
By the sea,
in the mountains.
Two places, each with its own rhythm.
We renovated old buildings ourselves and made them places to create.
Chigasaki
Bluno Shonan Chigasaki
An atelier a few minutes’ walk from the sea, in a vacant house about 60 years old that we renovated ourselves. The ground floor is a showroom, and the second floor is our workshop space.
