DUREN, MEN’S BAG

DUREN, Japanese leather goods

The luxury fashion brand, DUREN has unique details and material to catch your attention. It offers not only the nuances of wrinkles but also a fresh feel of versatility for every occasion. The sophisticated design is meant to express the inner sensuality of man.

Thanks to the Japanese cowhide they’ve been using since its launch, it creates shape-memory leather. It simply has the same effects as crumpled paper. The material is about 0.5 mm, the thinnest possible. It is crimped with either aluminum foil or tricot fabric.

Collection

The brand uses the art of subtraction to touch the spirit of traditional Japanese “shadow” beauty. They said “there is truth in the dark. It is in the depths of shadow that sensual beauty hides.”

 The 2022 “The MAN” collection added more freshness and colors than the previous season. Its extension, therefore, dramatically increases the degree of freedom in styling. Also, its contemporary style comes with crinkle leather in midnight blue and khaki.

However, the 23/24 FW collection presents a chic look of black and white. It’s delicate yet simple. Whether casual or luxurious, it achieves a stylish look.
