Yuketen

Yuketen makes footwear and leather goods, and was founded in 1989 by designer Yuki Matsuda. The shoes are American-made, built from the best materials Matsuda can gather from around the world. Traditional craftsmanship and classic design run through the range, with hand-stitching and moccasin construction among the techniques. Matsuda has formed partnerships with leather craftsmen he has befriended, and the results show real respect for heritage. Beyond boots and shoes, the range takes in leather goods, jewellery and accessories such as money clips. The Handsewn Tokyo DB Chukka is one style you will see stocked in the UK.
