Triangle Bag Black

Crafted from 100% genuine leather imported from Italy, the Triangle Bag features a unique textured grain, achieved through specialized processing at the tannery. This bag is exclusively designed and handcrafted by us, bringing a distinctive aesthetic to the triangular form through its patchwork construction. The buckle is made from vegetable-tanned leather, also imported from Italy, and is specially treated and colored. The four-petal motif is not inspired by any specific flower but rather represents a unique brand emblem, akin to traditional Japanese family crests. It symbolizes a flower that blooms eternally, forever in season. Dimensions: Length 40cm x Depth 10cm x Bag Height 16cm / Total Height 38cm **Handcrafted Excellence** For over two centuries since the Industrial Revolution, a segment of society has developed a different perspective on mass production. Consequently, the value of handcrafted goods has been redefined. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/68/63/51/6863514547c3517cae9649f56433f421.jpg Initially, we chose to handcraft our products simply because it was the most straightforward approach. However, as time passed, through every stitch, every hole, every cut, and every piece, we gained a deeper understanding. We began to feel as though we were infusing life, energy, and intention into each creation, much like artists who pour their vitality into their work. In different states of being, each detail will exhibit subtle variations. These minor imperfections are precisely what lend a human touch, a lingering essence of authenticity. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/02/7b/39/027b394f71ac9949d6d887c64fe0c53a.jpg Unlike machine stitching, every stitch on our products is meticulously sewn by hand. Employing traditional techniques, we use a saddle stitch that passes the thread completely through both the front and back of the leather, ensuring a robust and secure structure for the piece. Adhering to the principle of "If you're going to do it, do it right," we dedicate ourselves to the meticulous finishing of the leather edges, a hallmark of true craftsmanship. Using a custom-blended edge paint, we repeatedly apply and air-dry the finish, ultimately creating smooth, complete edges that elevate the piece to a higher 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, untreated 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 revered by artisans as "the finest leather conditioner." It does not alter the color of vegetable-tanned leather and helps to lock in moisture, providing excellent water-repellent protection. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/fc/a2/49/fca24902da73ee1b476364f349618ad6.jpg For maintenance, we recommend first using a dry cotton cloth or sponge to remove 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. The surface will gain a noticeable sheen, and the leather will appear darker. However, as the oil absorbs and evaporates, it will soon return to its natural appearance. This conditioning can be performed periodically, typically every 1-2 months. However, if you choose to do so weekly, it would be our greatest pleasure. **Vegetable-Tanned Leather** All our products are made with leather produced under the strict supervision of the Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium (Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetale), recognized globally for its quality. Established in 1994 by 11 tanneries in Tuscany, the Consortium upholds the most ancient traditional vegetable tanning techniques under rigorous regulations. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/fd/cd/ed/fdcded8f03eb960cedaa7e1d97a6bc91.jpg Historical records indicate that the vegetable tanning method 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 process allowed the leather to fully absorb the tannins from the plants, resulting in a dense, resilient, and durable vegetable-tanned leather. A complex process, yet one that stays 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 without heavy metals or other harmful substances. Compared to chrome-tanned leather, which uses 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 traces of scars. To honor these characteristics, we embrace imperfections, as they serve as proof of uniqueness. Therefore, during the production process, as long as they do not compromise the structural integrity of the leather item, we aim to preserve them. **Production Time** All products are made to order. This method ensures that every item is new and avoids any degradation from being stored. Therefore, the production time is 14 days (excluding weekends and holidays). You will be notified of shipment as soon as it is completed, should it be earlier. **Other Information** Colors in photos may vary due to different screen settings.
