Alden has been in business for well over a century, now less a brand and more an American institution. Founded in 1884 by Charles H Alden in Middleborough, Massachusetts, the family-run company sets the precedent for exceptional genuine-welted American shoemaking.

Japan's Ichizawa Hanpu has a long and storied history as a producer of hardwearing canvas bags. Ichizawa Hanpu is a brand that places emphasis on integrity above all things, both in terms of the quality of every product which leaves their Kyoto factory, as well as their brand image, which they have cultivated carefully over their decades in existence. Handmade by skilled craftspeople, each bag is built to last, and to improve with age and use. Ichizawa Shinzaburo Hanpu is available exclusively from Trunk Clothiers outside of Japan.
