Product description
Each of these slightly special holsters is fashioned by hand in Osaka, Japan from supple, 3mm thick leather, thread and brass rivets. For something so simple, we went through a surprising number of prototypes to get the shape just right. The name means ‘vase’ – a nod to the curvy lines – but we were also inspired by gourds, turnips and other bulbous horticultural eruptions.
A small aperture at the base of the holster makes it easier to flush out unwanted matter. Attach it to your belt with the simple leather loop on the reverse.
Quality-wise, this holster would make a fine match for an exquisite pair of Kurumi Secateurs (pictured but sadly not included), but all others secateurs and snips will fit.
Best usage
Did you know ‘tsubo’ is also a unit of measurement, equivalent to roughly 3.3m², or two tatami mats, if you’re a Japanese estate agent.
