LEATHER LUX
Since its founding in 1965, Hunting World's luggage has been a companion on people's travels and adventures. Before the iconic "BATTUE ORIGIN" series, which is robust yet soft, and boasts shock resistance, durability, heat resistance, and dust resistance, came into being, the brand's symbol was "LEATHERLUX."
Prior to the birth of "BATTUE ORIGIN" in 1972, this core series was reissued with Italian craftsmanship. Made from cotton canvas with a PVC coating, this luggage was crafted from a groundbreaking material at the time, offering a leather-like appearance with water resistance and durability, garnering support from those who sought quality and authenticity.
In Japan, it became instantly popular after being featured in the "Made in U.S.A. catalog" (published in '75), which is still revered as a classic. Even after it was discontinued, we received numerous requests from customers, and now, to commemorate our 60th anniversary, we are releasing it again. While retaining the original atmosphere, the main material has been changed to a thin, lightweight brushed suede-like fabric. By minimizing the thickness of the PVC, the bag itself has been made lighter, and traditional Italian leather has been incorporated.
For those who remember the original, it will evoke nostalgia; for others, it will feel new. This legacy, allowing you to enjoy the brand's unwavering essence, has been upgraded.
