Founded in 2007 by designer Shinji Iwamoto, Roberu got its start in Yokohama, Japan, and has now grown to become a leather factory well known for it's high quality leather products. Keeping up with traditions of fine craftsmanship, all Roberu leather goods are handmade and naturally dyed, making each piece truly unique and carrying with it the heart and soul of its maker. The brand has been called one of the most promising Japanese leather brands in recent years, and is sold out of Colette Paris, France among other fine retailers. In it's brief existence, Roberu has already captured the attention of the international stage, with collaboration and partnerships with well-known brands such as Lexus and Sony. Most recently they have opened a pop up outlet in Isetan Shinjuku, Japan. The word Roberu is made up from the words "road", "beach", and "runner", together they form a scene of a person running on a beach without a care in the world. It is through this glorious vision that inspired designer and founder Mr. Shinji Iwamoto to form the brand, and to keep in line with this image, he hopes Roberu continues to grow and forge ahead. Roberu's aim has always been to create products that integrate design, function, and lifestyle. Not only allowing users to easily fit these items into their daily lives, but at the same time play off it as well. With prolonged usage, the leather on Roberu products will start to show unique creases and rich color changes that reflect on its user, making it a unique accessory to life.
