It is free from harmful substances, making it suitable for leather goods that come into direct contact with the skin, classifying it as an eco-friendly leather. ● Color Evolution of Vegetable-Tanned Leather Natural-colored vegetable-tanned leather deepens in color and gains a richer luster and suppleness over time with use. Colored vegetable-tanned leather is dyed using non-polluting pigments in the most natural way possible. While black may not show the same dramatic color change as natural, it will still develop a beautiful, oiled sheen with prolonged use. Each piece develops a unique character reflecting its owner's habits, which is the distinctive charm of vegetable-tanned leather. ● Why Do Leather Surfaces Have Various Marks? The most common marks include insect bites, growth lines, brands, and scars (holes). Scars (holes) are typically avoided in production. Brands may be incorporated into special designs depending on their size and shape. Natural cowhide exhibits wrinkles and growth lines due to variations in its natural growth. Cows may encounter friction with other cattle or insect bites during their lives. Scratches and insect marks are natural occurrences. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7626/16604857008_dbb6f8e20c_o.jpg These are unavoidable characteristics of vegetable-tanned leather products and contribute to their natural, unadorned appeal. We hope you will understand these material properties and appreciate the captivating charm of vegetable-tanned leather's unmodified scars and color variations before making your purchase. ● Usage and Care It is best to avoid exposing vegetable-tanned leather to alcohol-based products like perfumes and hand sanitizers, as well as lotions or cosmetics. If the leather gets wet, gently wipe it clean with a cotton cloth and allow it to air dry in a shaded area. **Do not expose it to direct sunlight.** For storage, wipe the item clean with a cotton cloth, place it in its dust bag, and keep it in a well-ventilated, dry location. Frequent use is the best form of maintenance. ■ Origin / Taiwan ■ Manufacturing Method / Individual Artisan Craftsmanship (Not mass-produced)
