YUKIHIRO + BERRY + YONIQUE

Behind the scenes of a recent shoot for YUKIHIRO. — with designer and stylist Yuki Hiro and the lovely Justin Yoganator Berti. Thanks to Nathan Berry from -BERRY- and Takeru Hiroki for all your hard work and awesome skills.

A little sneak peek of a recent Yukihiro shoot with the wonderful Nathan Berry,  the sexy Yoganator himself Justin Yoganator Berti  and the talented Takeru Hiroki keeping everybody beautiful in the backstreets of Shibuya, Tokyo.
Just in case you're wondering this is a sneaky shot taken of the back of the camera....  Stay tuned for the final results.

Red + Tan + White Yukihiro Logo

Here is a little vid we made of the Yukihiro logo being hand embroidered in to the custom tote for a lovely customer in Australia... This is the same tote as in the Red + Tan post but I wanted to post it separately so it didn't get lost... Hope you enjoy!

Big thank you to Nathan Berry at BERRY for capturing editing and compiling this really cool vid!

Red + Tan Start to Finish

The beginnings of a new bag with the spoils of last weeks shopping trip to the leather shop... As this is a piece for a customer I thought I'd share the step by step hand stitching process...
This bag is a variation of the red bag in the shop... but as this bag isn't in stock we are giving it a little colour tweak!

I will ad photos as the construction continues over the next few weeks so stay tuned!

I hope you enjoy seeing it come together....

Long afternoon in the sun

The spoils... I love leather shoping

I never come back from a visit to the leather shop without something luscious here is my latest spoils...

A visit to my own personal heaven... And Leather!

This is one of my favorate leather shops in Nippori fabric Town just a few stations from Ueno in the northern part of tokyo.... a long way from my little place in down south in Yokohama, about an hour and a half on the train... but its always worth trip!
