Founded in 1985 by Yuki Matsuda, a passionate admirer of traditional American culture, Yuketen preserves the art of artisanal leather craftsmanship. Each creation, whether footwear or luggage, requires up to 120 hours of meticulous work by expert hands. The brand rigorously selects its raw materials: Horween leathers from Chicago, Italian suedes from Tuscany, and vegetable-tanned leathers from Mexico, to create timeless pieces that improve with use.
