Herz-bags & leather goods Japan

[Sigur Rós]

Hey folks,

Does anyone know of this Japanese brand, own or have experience with their leather goods.

I've been after a leather backpack for quite some time that's well made, functional and rugged, yet modish enough as to not look like I just walked out of a Indianna Jones film set.

All their leather goods are made-to-order with each bag taking up to 12 weeks to be made individually by a single craftsmen.

Before I make a purchase I want to make sure the company has been Sufu-certified for quality and chic.

There was an article on Herz Bags at Carryology a while back.

Along with a review of one of their pouches.

I haven't seen their stuff up close, but it looks nice. If you go for one then I'll be interested to hear what you think.
