Japanese leather goods brand HERZ has highlighted various product offerings and manufacturing processes. In late July 2026, the company announced a limited-edition online pre-order event for royal-blue leather items, including approximately 60 bag and accessory models. This sale was scheduled to begin on 5 August 2026 via the official e-shop, following a period of website maintenance.

Subsequent information details the brand’s broader craftsmanship, noting that HERZ was founded in 1973 and focuses on handmade products such as tote bags and wallets. The brand utilizes proprietary ‘Starre’ leather and vegetable-tanned leathers like Latigo. Most items are produced in Japan by individual artisans who manage the process from sewing to finishing, and the company provides repair services to promote product longevity.
