In this time, some of us have developed a different perspective on mass production, leading to a redefinition of the value of fully handcrafted goods. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/68/63/51/6863514547c3517cae9649f56433f421.jpg Initially, we chose to craft entirely by hand simply because it was the most straightforward path. However, as time passed, through every stitch, every hole, every cut, and every piece, we gained a new understanding. We began to feel that in the process of creating each item, we were infusing it with life, energy, and intention, much like artists pour their vitality into their creations. In different states, each detail will possess subtle variations. These minor imperfections are precisely what lend a lingering essence of humanity. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/02/7b/39/027b394f71ac9949d6d887c64fe0c53a.jpg Unlike machine stitching, every stitch on our products is done entirely by hand. Using traditional techniques, we employ a saddle stitch, passing the thread completely through both the front and back of the leather, thereby securely reinforcing the structure of the leather piece. Adhering to the principle of "If you're going to do it, do it right," we meticulously finish and polish every leather edge, a hallmark of true craftsmanship. By repeatedly applying and air-drying a specially formulated edge compound, we achieve a smooth, complete edge, elevating the craftsmanship of our leather goods to a new level of refinement. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/45/05/ba/4505ba3b7609bb22a441d6d4f170d37a.jpg **Leather Care** The black and tan vegetable-tanned leathers have undergone a color-fixing process at the tannery, making them less prone to oxidation and discoloration compared to natural-colored leather. Vegetable-tanned leather thrives in dry environments. Therefore, it's best to store it in a well-ventilated area and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. **Advanced Care** Mink oil is often referred to by artisans as "leather's best conditioner." It does not cause discoloration on vegetable-tanned leather and helps to lock in moisture, providing excellent water-repellent protection. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/fc/a2/49/fca24902da73ee1b476364f349618ad6.jpg To apply, we recommend first using a dry cotton cloth or sponge to wipe away any dust from the leather. Then, take a clean cotton cloth or sponge, apply a moderate amount of mink oil, and gently polish the leather until the oil is fully absorbed. After polishing, the leather surface will gain a noticeable sheen, and the leather will appear darker. However, as the oil penetrates and evaporates, it will soon return to its normal appearance. This conditioning can be performed periodically, typically every 1-2 months. However, if you choose to do it weekly, that would be our greatest pleasure. **Vegetable-Tanned Leather** All our products are crafted using leather produced under the strict supervision of the Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium (Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetale). This leather is globally recognized for its quality. The Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium was founded in 1994 by 11 tanneries in Tuscany. Under the consortium's stringent regulations, these tanneries uphold the most time-honored traditional vegetable tanning techniques. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/fd/cd/ed/fdcded8f03eb960cedaa7e1d97a6bc91.jpg Historical records indicate that the practice of vegetable tanning was invented by the Hebrews in the 11th century BC. They would repeatedly soak leather in natural plant materials such as leaves, branches, and fruits for extended periods. This allowed the leather to fully absorb the tannins from the plants, ultimately producing vegetable-tanned leather with a dense structure, superior toughness, and exceptional durability. A complex process, yet one that is closer to nature. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d0/c4/d8/d0c4d801ae750ef47179b032d58bc59b.jpg Today, tannins can be extracted from plants, and under the strict compositional standards controlled by the Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium, vegetable-tanned leather is produced that is free from heavy metals and other harmful substances. Compared to chrome-tanned leather, which is produced using chemical tanning agents, vegetable-tanned leather retains its natural and harmless qualities. Because no chemical tanning agents or dyes are used in the production of vegetable-tanned leather, its surface retains the most natural grain patterns, growth marks, and signs of its history. To honor this, we embrace imperfections, as they serve as proof of uniqueness. Therefore, during the crafting process, we strive to preserve these characteristics whenever they do not compromise the structural integrity of the leather piece. **Production Time** All products are made to order. This ensures that every item is new and will not age due to inventory storage. Therefore, the production time is 14 days (excluding weekends and holidays). You will be notified immediately once your order is completed and ready for shipment. **Other Information** Colors in photos may vary slightly due to different screen displays.
