Hender Scheme

Hender Scheme is a Tokyo based label founded by Ryo Kashiwazaki, known for merging artisanal leathercraft with contemporary design. Best recognized for the Manual Industrial Products series, the brand reimagines iconic sneakers in natural vegetable-tanned leather, turning familiar objects into studies of material, aging, and time.
At the heart of Hender Scheme lies the belief that imperfection defines beauty. Every piece is hand-finished in Japan, evolving through wear to develop unique patina and character.
Beyond footwear, the label creates bags, small leather goods, and lifestyle objects, all crafted with the same dedication to function, form, and detail. Guided by a philosophy of slow design and tactile experience, Hender Scheme celebrates the human hand, honoring the connection between people, objects, and the passage of time.
