Amiacalva

Amiacalva is an Osaka-based bag label founded in 2010 by designer Kazunori Kato, who worked in bag manufacturing before launching earlier labels Tocantins and Mormyrus. The name comes from an ancient fish that survived centuries without evolving, framing the brand's pursuit of finished, unchanging design paired with adaptable function. Backpacks, messenger and shoulder bags, totes and 2-way styles use a proprietary high-density combed-yarn canvas woven in Okayama, alongside leather trims and traditional dyeing. A recycled-materials sister line, Karri Amiacalva, launched in spring 2025. Mainline bags typically retail around $135-$400.
