【What you would like me to know when choosing this leather goods】
Even if you say "genuine leather" bitefully, do you know that there is a big difference in its nature and price?
Actually, even if it is indicated as "real leather goods", its price is quite varied.
Although the difference in price depends on the design and manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for the same real leather to produce a difference of more than 10 times even if you compare it in the place of "material cost of leather".
Why so much difference? The reason is described below.
Leather can be roughly divided into two manufacturing methods. "Chrome tanning" and "vegetable tannin tanning".
Today, the leather that is on the market is predominantly chrome tanned with chemical ingredients.
Chrome tanned leather has the advantage that the surface is uniformly finished, flexible, and resistant to heat.
Also, because it finishes in large quantities in a short time, the cost is also cheap, but on the other hand, it is also a leather that makes it difficult for "aging", the real pleasure of using real leather.
Scratches and dirt of aging will remain unchanged as scratched dirt as it is, it will be seen as "deteriorated" in the eyes.
In other words [Chrome tanned leather is a material that is suitable for mass production with stable material, I think that it can be said that the most beautiful leather when finished].
Meanwhile, leather tanned using the astringent of plants is called "Nume leather".
Nume leather is an ancient process. The finish that keeps the texture of the raw skin, the influence of natural scars and blood trace marks is likely to occur, the softness also varies depending on the part.
It costs too high to finish it over a long time and it is hard to say that it is a stable material, but it is a leather that can enjoy the "aging" such as changes in luster due to aging and increasing color depth.
【Nume leather is not perfect when you get it, I think that it can be said that leather is growing attachment over a long time.
"Because you have leather goods at a great price, I'd like you to choose leather that you can taste the change by using it for long."
From that idea, KALEIDOSCOPE's work is focused on "Nume leather".
【At the beginning is a smooth texture of bare skin, but polished with friction while you use, gloss is born】
You can enjoy changing appearance every day.
* Even though you can make a spot, you think that it is a process of aging, growing into a deep gloss by using it.
【Those who want intact leather products, please refrain from purchasing】
Since natural leather is finished in the state of raising up, there are inherent scars and unevenness, but we dare to cut with scratches. Please acknowledge some small scratches.
It is worrisome if you catch it as "scratch", but this is also a proof that this leather was alive.
I think that you can enjoy scratches and unevenness as the only thing unique to this leather Nume.
[Attention to metal fittings]
All brackets use solid brass material.
In the West, brass is said to be "metal calling for good luck", and it was also used as an amulet.
【Commitment to Production】
* As possible as possible by hand.
From stencil making to leather cutting, I am stuck with "making by hand cutting with leather kitchen kneaded by myself as much as possible".
