[Bring an envelope in your hand. ]
One of the works that can be called the origin of KALEIDOSCOPE leather wallets.
A long wallet in the shape of an "envelope".
Rhythm interweaving rectangles and diagonal lines.
A letter addressed to an important person is put in, and it is gently closed in the center as if sealing with wax...
A beautiful story associated with "Envelope" has been put into a wallet that is close to you.
At first glance, it has a simple design, but the beautiful balance of the streamlines on the lid and the fasteners engraved with the image of sealing wax have been refined over the course of more than a decade of production.
[About the leather used in this work]
The leather used in this work is "Tuxon", an oil smooth leather produced by ITALPEL in Italy.
ITALPEL has been particular about using traditional vegetable tanning techniques.
"Vegetable tanning technique" transmitted to the Tuscany region
This is a very time-consuming tanning technique, and it is a precious leather that skilled craftsmen spend a long time creating.
ITALPEL is a tanner with a reputation for not only inheriting the ancient tradition of making leather, but also creating beautiful leather with a modern essence.
"Because it is used every day,
I want to choose something that changes beautifully with use and can be loved for a long time.”
KALEIDOSCOPE is
With that in mind, I chose this leather and made this piece.
[KALEIDOSCOPE, commitment to Nume leather]
The leather used in KALEIDOSCOPE is all leather called "tanned leather".
*Nume leather is leather that has been tanned with vegetable tannins (in other words, “astringent”).
Although it is not a stable material, the charm of vegetable tanned leather that allows you to enjoy its changes is attracting attention.
It can be said that the material is not perfect when you hold it in your hand, but that you will grow to love it over time.
It is made using an ancient method, and the ingredients are the skin and the astringency of the plant. I don't rely on science. It is especially recommended for those who are particular about natural materials.
[I use brass pure materials as much as possible for the metal fittings]
Brass is a material that gets better the more you use it, just like leather.
At the beginning of use, the leather is stiff, so the metal fittings may feel stiff and difficult to close, but as you use it, you will get used to it.
If you make it easy to close from the beginning, the hook may become loose in a short period of time, so we made this adjustment.
[If you are looking for an intact leather product, please refrain from purchasing]
Since it is natural leather, there are natural scars and unevenness.
Large scratches are avoided, but please understand some small scratches.
The appearance of the grain and the unevenness of the scratches are different one by one.
If you think of it as a "scratches", you may be concerned, but this is also a proof that this leather was alive, "the only pattern".
[KALEIDOSCOPE, commitment in production]
manually as much as possible.
KALEIDOSCOPE's works are made on thick paper and cut by hand without using drawing software on a PC when making patterns.
By doing so, I have a desire for manufacturing to express the unique curves and bulges traced by human hands.
I would be happy if you could feel the form created by hand.
