Itoya Topdrawer Corp.

Tools for Nomads™ We are a Japanese maker of premium bags, pens, house shoes, eyewear, notebooks, bento boxes, rain gear, and other useful tools for life on-the-go. As creative professionals, our office has to fit in a bag. In the course of one day, we might be working on a plane, a train, a cafe, and a park bench before ending up at our office or studio. Working this way requires the right tools, and frankly, the cheap, predictable supplies from the bloated superstores weren't helping us and weren't inspiring us. And buying products that would one day likely end up in a landfill didn't seem right. We longed for the days our grandparents knew, when a person could buy a good tool that would last a lifetime and might even be passed down to the next generation. At Topdrawer, we offer quality products curated from around the world that will help you do your best work wherever you are. Our tools revolve around four core activities in a creative mobile life: working, photographing, eating, and traveling.
