ABOUT BEERBELLY
Backstage craft, on center stage.
For many years, we have taken on production and repair work for all kinds of brands.
Bags, wallets — sometimes even shoes.
We are the backstage of making things, working with our hands where no names are shown.
Working with your hands every day, seeds of ideas sometimes come to mind.
Not just about design, but about how things are sewn and built.
They are all fragments, never quite a whole.
And making things is never just the work of the people who sew.
There are those who cut, those who finish, the suppliers who bring us hardware and materials,
the bookkeeping, even the drives to deliver the goods.
Everyone behind the scenes has professional know-how,
and that is where the seeds of making are found.
Someday, we wanted a place to gather those seeds
and give them shape — from the backstage up.
That is how BEERBELLY began.
What we make isn't limited to leather.
T-shirts, bottles, even stickers.
It started after work.
We'd switch off the workshop lights, open a can of beer, loosen up,
and talk about the things we wanted to make.
The more we talked, the more fun it got, and we got hooked,
piecing together our first collection.
And every time, another beer was empty —
"The more we make, the bigger our beer bellies grow."
That's where the name BEERBELLY comes from.

CraftHow we think about making
-
01
Details that just click.
That "I see!" the moment you open it. Even the pocket that takes your coins in one go was born from an idea we picked up while working with our hands.
-
02
Created by hands that know repair.
Hands that have long handled both production and repair know where things wear out and where they come apart. That's why we can build things to last.
-
03
Any material will do.
Leather, T-shirts, bottles, stickers. The form may change, but our backstage point of view stays the same.
