Hender Scheme is a Japanese brand founded by Ryo Kashiwazaki with a focus on leather craftsmanship and the idea of moving beyond traditional gender distinctions in design. Rooted in handwork and material honesty, the brand became known for reinterpreting familiar objects and iconic footwear through untreated natural leather, allowing pieces to age and change through use. With production based in Japan, Hender Scheme bridges traditional craft with conceptual design, creating everyday products shaped by time, wear, and human interaction.
