Hello everyone.
Thank you very much for your continued patronage of YOUTA. The pre-order sale for our 20th Anniversary new standard color, "Tourmaline Green," exclusively via our official online store, began the day before yesterday, Friday, September 4th, at 11:00 AM. Since the moment we launched, we have received an overwhelming number of visits and reservations that far exceed our expectations.
The "limited 20-piece allocation (combined Y7 & Y4)" prepared for the first lot, along with the remaining stock of our not-for-sale "20th Anniversary Genuine Leather Key Strap," are now officially in the final countdown phase. Our entire staff is humbled and honored to see such enthusiastic anticipation for these first 20 bags, each brought to life by the hands of a master artisan.
And now, in this three-part series on the development story of Tourmaline Green,
the second installment explores how beautifully this bag harmonizes with actual business scenes and daily life. We will delve deep into the styling and the overwhelming practicality hidden in the details of YOUTA’s two most popular models:"Y7 (Horizontal M-size)" and "Y4 (Horizontal S-size)." If you are wondering, "How do I match a green bag with my business attire?", please take a moment to imagine it with your own daily suit style or office casual wear and envision that refined elegance.

1. [Y7 (Horizontal M-size)] x Classic Suit: The Executive Stature That Commands Trust
|
|
|
Among YOUTA’s lineup, the "Y7 (Horizontal M-size)" has garnered immense support from business people who travel frequently and executives who need to carry 16-inch large laptops and gadgets in a smart fashion. By combining Tourmaline Green with the dignified, doctor's-bag-inspired form unique to our horizontal dulles bags, a truly one-of-a-kind elegance is born.
[Recommended Styling: Navy Suit & Charcoal Gray]
Try pairing this Y7 Tourmaline Green with a navy suit—which we have loved for years—or an intelligent, sophisticated charcoal gray suit. The deep, calm tone, which looks almost black or midnight blue at first glance, pulls the entire coordinate together. Yet, the moment it catches the light, the center intrecciato weave creates beautiful highlights, revealing a refined deep green. "A black or navy bag is too boring because everyone has one, but a bag with too much personality loses trust."
Here is the perfect answer to that business dilemma. The moment you place it by your desk or open it to retrieve documents in front of a business partner, it speaks eloquently of the trust that "this person knows the value of quality," even without saying a word. That is the power of the Y7 Tourmaline Green.

2. [Y4 (Horizontal S-size)] x Office Casual: The Smartness to Navigate the City Lightly
|
|
|
On the other hand, the "Y4 (Horizontal S-size)" is the choice for those who want to navigate the urban business scene more smartly and actively, or for women who enjoy a sophisticated, genderless style. Its sharp silhouette fits beautifully against the body line when worn as a backpack, maximizing the refinement of the green.
[Recommended Styling: Jacket & Slacks Style]
The Y4 perfectly fits a clean, office-casual style—whether it's gray slacks with a preppy tartan blazer, or a trench coat or high-quality mid-gauge knit for the coming season. The Tourmaline Green on your back captures the attention of those walking behind you, exuding an overwhelming sense of dimension and allure. It is also incredibly modish and elegant when carried casually by its natural wood top handle.
From on-the-clock hours to weekend gallery visits or lunch at a hotel, this is an extremely versatile masterpiece that will dramatically elevate your off-day jacket style. |
3. Beauty That Never Fails. The Power of "High-Grade PVC" That Performs 365 Days a Year, in Any Weather
|
|
|
No matter how beautiful the styling, it cannot be called genuine business gear if you worry about scratches every time you use it, or if you hide it in your closet for fear of rain stains.
As we mentioned in our first installment, the body of the Tourmaline Green model uses a "custom-made high-grade PVC material" that YOUTA has obsessed over.
The greatest advantage of this material is its "overwhelming water repellency, stain resistance, and abrasion resistance." Even when exposed to long autumn rains or sudden downpours, water droplets bead up and slide off the uneven surface of the intrecciato weave. Since there is no risk of soaking in, you can simply wipe it with a dry cloth upon arriving at the office to restore its original, jewel-like luster.
Furthermore, there is almost no concern about scratches from rubbing against other luggage on a crowded train or from hard daily use. "You can use this beautiful Tourmaline Green rigorously, 365 days a year, without worrying about the weather."
This peace of mind is precisely why, regardless of the forecast, you can pick up your favorite bag every morning and start your day in the best condition possible.

4. Few Left. How to Get Your Hands on the Special First Lot of 20
  We are currently accepting pre-orders for this Tourmaline Green in our official store.
As this "limited 20-piece" allocation is the first production run, crafted by our artisans without compromise, it holds a premium significance distinct from future regular sales (arrival timing TBD). Furthermore, the not-for-sale "genuine leather key strap" included only for the first 20 people who book during this pre-order period—the beautiful trinity of green, wood, and black when this jet-black leather strap is attached to the bag—is a privilege only those who secure this first lot will enjoy.
Currently, the 20-piece allocation for both the Y7 and Y4 is steadily filling up.
"Will you embrace the presence of the M-size, or choose the smartness of the S-size?" You may not have much time left to decide. Please do not miss this special opportunity to get your own new standard bag. In our final installment (scheduled for release in mid-October), we will go behind the scenes at the factory in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture—the heart of Japan's bag industry—to see how this beautiful Tourmaline Green is sewn into its perfect form. Please stay tuned to see the obsessive dedication applied by our artisans.

There are plenty of high-quality items when it comes to men's apparel, but few choices when it comes to bags. With that simple thought, I launched the leather bag brand "YOUTA" in 2006. Having worked in various apparel roles involving clothing, watches, and shoes, I focused on synthetic leather. It is lightweight, rain-resistant, and requires no special maintenance. I also chose synthetic leather because it is a "vegan leather" made from non-animal materials, which fits the modern era. Through the Japanese tradition of craftsmanship, we aim to provide a comfortable business life for working people and support the Japanese manufacturing industry. Representative Kenta Sugawara
