I have a small burgundy saddlebag from them (bought from Bill at Wallingford
Bikes), and it really is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Easily the equal
of Berthoud, maybe better. But with Wallingford out of the line, I don't know
of anyone in the US carrying it. Their website (there used to be a link on
wallbike.com, don't know if it's still there) has a provision for ordering
directly from Japan, but I haven't done it.

Subject: [RBW] guu watanabe bag videos
I've been following this photo stream on flickr for a long time. Guu Watanabe
is a maker of custom bags using leather and canvas. He makes a lot of cycling
bags as well as any other kind of bag.
Recently they put up a few videos of the process of making a bag.

I'm not sure what he's saying in the video since I don't speak/read/understand
japanese but I enjoyed watching the snippets and browsing through the bags he
has on:

They appear to be fantastic products but I've never seen one in person.
