Drawn to the design and texture that embody the essence of ato
The accessory line "A," named after the brand's "ato" and "Apostle" (meaning disciple), is a new series featuring leather goods such as bags and wallets.
In the "A" series, each item is named after one of the "Apostles" (the 12 disciples). The first season introduces six apostles: JOHN / MATTHEW / PETER / JAMES / ANDREW / SIMON, with four bag styles and two wallet styles, each available in two colors.
The washable leather and soft nubuck used in each item are treated with special tanning and finishing techniques, creating a coexistence of ato's signature inorganic uniformity and the organic texture of leather. Furthermore, by using the grain-intact, living leather, each piece develops a unique character and rich patina with age.
The new accessory line "A" inherits ato's identity, with its essence reflected in every detail of each item. With each passing season, new items (apostles) and new colors are planned for release.
