Leather Goods with Nuanced Sheen and Softness
m0851 maintains a commitment to hands-on control throughout the entire production process at its Montreal factory. Since its inception in 1987, this lifestyle brand has dedicated itself to craftsmanship, with a motto of creating products that harmonize seemingly contradictory elements: beauty and functionality, creativity and tradition, sophistication and durability.
Among their popular items are those finished with aniline leather, prized for its nuanced sheen. Made from Italian calfskin tanned to a mere 0.7mm, this full-grain leather is exceptionally durable, breathable, and moisturizing due to its use of the hide's strongest part. Furthermore, it softens quickly with use, offering a lightness that belies its leather construction, making it a signature of m0851.
The 66-square-meter store offers a space that blends modern design with warmth, featuring walnut and teak wood alongside black steel. A large central counter table with eight chairs invites customers to shop in a relaxed atmosphere. The Ginza store showcases a curated selection of leather bags, accessories, and outerwear, presented in both basic and accent colors.
m0851's leather items exude a quiet quality, deepening in character and charm with every use. We encourage you to find a piece that will become your trusted companion for years to come.
