Material Selection The cowhide used by "Cut Line" is Grade A, high-fat vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Italy. As a natural material processed with methods that minimize damage to the leather, it may inevitably feature minor "scratches," "wrinkles," or "veins." We strive to avoid these during cutting or place them on less visible or non-stressed areas of the product. 2. Hand-Stitched Seams Our products are crafted entirely by hand, without the use of sewing machines. Before stitching, specialized pricking irons are used to create evenly spaced holes in the leather, allowing for the distinctive wavy stitch pattern that sets our work apart from machine-made items. While this process significantly extends production time, it is a crucial step where leather artisans imbue their creations with soul and a soft, warm touch. 3. Hand-Finished Edges Before completion, the edges of the leather are meticulously burnished. Our aim is to achieve smooth, rounded, and natural-looking edges. "Cut Line" employs a unique edge-finishing technique. First, sandpaper is used to repeatedly smooth the sharp edges. Then, an edge coating is applied to create a flat surface, a process repeated 2-3 times. Finally, a layer of edge wax is applied and repeatedly burnished with a burnishing tool until the edges achieve a smooth finish. 4. Hand-Dyed Leather For our hand-dyed products, "Cut Line" uses imported Fiebing's leather alcohol dyes from the United States. To ensure even and natural coloration, we begin by lightly dampening the leather surface. The dye is then applied layer by layer with a sponge, gradually deepening the color until the desired shade is achieved. After drying, a color sealant is applied to enhance colorfastness. The surface is also treated with water and wiped to remove any surface dust and further even out the color. As each piece is hand-dyed, subtle variations in color will exist between products, making each bag uniquely its own.
