"Creating a global brand originating from Kyoto"
With this goal in mind, we started as an apparel manufacturer in 2005. Initially, we sold products produced in partner factories wholesale to specialty stores nationwide.
The desire to deliver products that we have made ourselves directly to our customers grew within us, and in 2015 we started the handmade leather goods brand COTOCUL.
What is COTOCUL?
The name is a combination of the words "koto" (ancient capital) and "culture." The brand name embodies our desire to promote the materials and culture that have been passed down in Kyoto and Japan through our craftsmanship.
"Brand Concept"
Our brand concept is "Creating products that bring smiles." We hope that the existence of our brand will bring smiles to many people, including not only our customers who purchase our products, but also ourselves who create the products, the craftsmen who collaborate with us, and the suppliers who provide us with materials.
"Where you can buy our products"
Unfortunately, we do not have a store, and only sell through mail order and events at department stores. We will do our best to have a physical store, so please support us. For details on the event sales schedule at department stores, please click the button below.
"A new challenge"
In order to create a cycle of local production and consumption and reduce leather waste, we are attempting to develop an original material called Miyako Leather , made from the skin of Japanese Black Cattle raised in Kyoto. 
We would appreciate your support for this challenge. For details, please click the button below.
" lastly "
We started manufacturing and selling leather accessories with neither knowledge nor experience, so it was a struggle, but little by little we began to get more opportunities to sell our products in department stores across the country.
Just then, due to the impact of the coronavirus, department stores canceled their special sales, and we were forced to learn about mail order sales.
It took more than three years for each of the department store sales, mail order sales, and the development of the aforementioned Miyako Leather to take shape.
Although things are not always going as expected, we will continue to strive to create products that bring smiles to people's faces and do our best to become a brand that we can be proud of around the world. We hope you will take this opportunity to support COTOCUL. 
Thank you for visiting our web shop. We look forward to your continued support.
