Japanese leather products brand objcts.io, operated by Tsuchiya Kaban Manufacturing Co., Ltd., has announced the launch of new bag collections featuring leather and mesh designs. The Essential Mesh Tote and Essential Mesh Hobo will be available starting February 25, 2026, while the Essential Leather Daypack will launch on March 4, 2026, through the online store and select retail locations.
The Leather Daypack marks the brand's first new backpack model in approximately five years. Despite being made of leather, it achieves weight comparable to nylon alternatives while showcasing the soft, natural drape characteristic of quality leather. Meanwhile, the Tote and Hobo series welcomes new additions combining double rassel mesh with leather for an ultralight, sporty aesthetic. This spring bag collection is designed to make travel and daily commutes as light as possible.
The Lightest and Softest Leather Backpack in objcts.io History
At approximately 725g for the Medium size, this daypack achieves weight comparable to nylon alternatives while allowing wearers to enjoy the beautiful drape unique to leather. Rather than a heavy, structured design, the organic silhouette changes with the amount of contents, pursuing lightness from both actual weight and visual appearance.
The back structure eliminates core materials as much as possible for a soft carrying experience. The shoulder straps include sufficient cushioning to reduce shoulder strain during transport. The leather texture blends naturally with casual outfits, adding a refined impression to styling.
The interior features a cushioned pocket that accommodates laptops up to 13 inches for the Medium size. It also includes pockets for organizing mobile chargers and cables, plus a bottle sleeve. The exterior has a gusseted front pocket for smooth access to wireless earphones and valuables.
Thanks to its soft structure, the bag body can fold flat for easy suitcase storage, making it useful as a sub-bag during travel or business trips.
