It contains no harmful substances to the human body, making it suitable for leather goods that come into direct contact with skin, and is considered an eco-friendly leather. ● Color Transformation of Vegetable-Tanned Leather Natural vegetable-tanned leather deepens in color and becomes more lustrous and supple with time and use. Colored vegetable-tanned leather is dyed using non-polluting pigments in the most natural way. While black may not show as dramatic a color change as natural, it still develops a beautiful, rich sheen with long-term use. The unique charm of vegetable-tanned leather lies in how each piece develops its own one-of-a-kind character based on individual usage habits. ● Why 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 product designs depending on their size and shape. Natural cowhide exhibits creases and growth lines due to different body parts. During growth, cows inevitably experience friction with others or insect bites. Scars 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 are part of their natural, unadorned appeal. We hope you will understand these product traits before purchasing and appreciate the captivating charm of vegetable-tanned leather's unrefined scars and color variations. ● Usage and Care Vegetable-tanned leather should be kept away from alcohol-based liquids such as perfumes and hand sanitizers, as well as lotions or skincare products. If accidentally exposed to rain, wipe clean with a cotton cloth and allow to air dry. <Do not expose directly to sunlight.> For storage, wipe clean with a cotton cloth, place in a dust bag, and store in a ventilated, dry area. Frequent use and handling is the best form of maintenance. ■ Origin / Taiwan ■ Manufacturing Method / Individual independent craftsmanship (not factory mass production)
