Increase brand awareness in Hong Kong
Tsuchiya Kaban is a Japanese handcrafted leather brand that started in the elementary schoolbag business in 1965. Over the past 50 years, Tsuchiya Kaban has been striving to offer quality, durable, and comfortable leather bags to both children and adults. While the brand has kept a low profile approach in the Japanese market, they’ve opened their first store overseas, in Hong Kong in K11 Art Mall, in December 2019. The new location announced the launch of a limited-edition leather backpack. The key challenge was to build credibility and awareness of a premium fashion brand in Hong Kong.
