Ayaka Fukiage, a long-time accessory buyer, launched her handbag brand, A VACATION, in 2018. The inspiration behind the brand is "travel," with the name conveying the message of being "a companion for your journey." The bag designs stem from Ayaka's passion for travel, both for work and leisure.

The brand debuted its iconic large tote bag, "TANK," in its first season, designed to be comfortably carried in various situations,from travel to everyday life. The fabrics used are primarily jacquards with three-dimensional woven patterns, including imported interior fabrics and original creations. Despite their substantial appearance, these uniquely individual jacquard fabrics are lighter and more durable than they seem, becoming a signature element of the brand.

Each season, the brand's signature jacquard fabric appears in various designs, known for its ease of use. The handles are slashed in two directions for easy gripping, even for women with delicate hands. Skilled craftsmen at the company's own factory meticulously hand-stitch and piece the leather, adding strength and attesting to the high quality of these Japanese-made bags.
The size and materials of the bags are continually updated to match changing lifestyles, offering timeless yet playful designs. The travel theme is also evident in details like the removable snap pouch for securing valuables and the attached shoulder strap. A VACATION bags are versatile enough for both travel and daily use, designed to be dignified and easy to carry, making them a reliable daily companion.

In the spring/summer of 2024, the brand will debut a capsule clothing collection. The lineup will include wrinkle-free items suitable as "wardrobes for travel," such as one-piece dresses and jackets with adjustable silhouettes and lengths via drawstrings, allowing for versatile styling.
