Kawatako Leather Goods

Japanese artisan craftmanship doesn't come cheap, or small for that matter. Translated as leather octopus "Kawatako" produces a superb line a leather and hardware accessories. The wallets are as oversized as they are expensive, setting you back $300 - $500 in any store your lucky enough to find them in. But at those prices I'd almost insist on it half hanging out of my pocket.

Other smaller,but no less well made items such as the 100% pure brass key hooks can be picked up for around $40 to $60. I've yet to find anywhere in the UK or Europe that stocks this brand but if anyone knows somewhere that does, feel free to let me know.
