- Horse Nume Tan -

Horse Nume Tan, a new color added in 2024.
Thanks to this Horse Nume, I learned a lot over the past year about what Horse Nume leather is, how to maximize its beauty, and gained valuable experience.

Horse Nume has a strong yet flexible grain surface, embodying contradictory elements.
It is strong against pulling and flexible, making it a special leather that is also resistant to scratches.
The finish allows you to truly experience the strength of leather.


- Maximizing the versatility of Horse Nume leather -

We want everyone to experience the versatility of Horse Nume leather.
The 2025 TEST SAMPLE challenges this with "finish" and "texture" as its themes.

It uses the same leather as the currently available and orderable MK-01 (TAN).
The 2025 TEST SAMPLE specification, in contrast, is crafted with a gentle firmness.
When touched, it has the characteristic firmness of nume, yet also a soft, moderately thick and supple texture.
The bag itself is lighter than standard models.

The appearance is the same,
but the texture is completely different when touched.
This kind of craftsmanship is possible precisely because Horse Nume is such a versatile leather.

- A tote bag that combines the functionality of a bag -

Manifo is synonymous with German fasteners.
I first encountered these fasteners about 20 years ago.
They don't open when pulled,
but open easily when the tab is pulled.
We use the second generation of such German fasteners.
Transitioning from TENAX to LOXX, these Made in Germany fasteners are still going strong.
I vividly remember the excitement I felt when I first encountered them.



Overturning the concept of a tote bag as merely a pouch,
Manifo's tote bag incorporates the functionality of a bag.

First,
a new mechanism with a partition in the middle of the interior.

This partition includes a hidden zippered pocket.


The side pockets are suspended,
a design to prevent the outline of items in the pocket from showing through the bag's exterior.

One side has a vertical pocket for smartphones.

The other side has a horizontal pocket for small items like mobile batteries.
