TOFF (=fashionable) & LOADSTONE (=something that attracts people)
TOFF&LOADSTONE's concept is an exquisite harmony of contradictory elements: the classic element of brass metal fittings and the modern look created by the design.
- A single metal fitting can change a bag. A single bag can change its dignity. -
We propose bags that are ``part of fashion'' by combining the elegance of high-quality materials, tailoring, and appearance with designs that have been passed down through time as TOFF style basics.
Brass
Casting is an ancient manufacturing method in which a mold is made in sand and brass is poured into it. Due to its unique characteristics, it is difficult to maintain uniformity in its shape, but it has an irregular shape, but its beautiful curves and warmth that can only be achieved by handcrafting make it appealing. The original designed brass hardware, which is synonymous with the brand, gives it a sense of quality, elegance, and an antique feel.
Craftsmanship
Toph & Lodestone's bags are completely handmade, from the production of the leather to the cutting, sewing, and finishing. Even if you take away a small metal fitting, that spirit is still alive. However, that was not our goal from the beginning. As a result of trial and error aiming high, we were able to communicate down to the smallest nuances and create products without compromise.Made in Japan.
Cowhide
Shrink-embossed leather was created with minimalism and elasticity in mind. By selecting the appropriate raw leather for making bags, we are able to maintain the texture of the leather, which tends to be lost with regular embossing. The attention to detail that goes into the materials is reflected in the materials, and it goes without saying that the quality of the materials is evident.
Shrink Emboss
Shrink-style embossed leather that expresses an elegant and natural grained expression by using a blank punching process before and after embossing. We use raw leather from Toronto, Canada, which is dense, tight, and has few scratches. The chewy thickness and softness with no sharp edges are proof of high quality leather.
Fjord Goat
After dyeing the goatskin, we add two additional processes: turning the leather with a drum and flapping it, creating a strong valley-like grain and a soft texture.
Women's
The Women's Collection has a simple yet luxurious feel with high-quality materials and tailoring. The sophisticated design makes the woman who wears it elegant and beautiful.
