about 1.61 Soft Goods

1.61 Soft Goods creates understated leather and canvas goods for notebooks, travel, and everyday carry. Founded in Los Angeles in 2011 and based in Tokyo since 2017, each piece is designed with practical function, lasting materials, and everyday use in mind.

Everything is made in small batches from carefully selected materials chosen to age well and improve with use.

 

MADE IS SMALL BATCHES

Designed and made in Tokyo

Each piece is cut, assembled, and finished in my Tokyo workshop. Small-batch production allows me to work carefully, reduce unnecessary waste, and give each product the attention it deserves.
