Triangle Bag - Blue

Crafted from 100% genuine Italian leather, the Triangle bag features a unique textured grain, achieved through meticulous processing at the tannery. This bag is exclusively designed and handcrafted, bringing a distinctive aesthetic to the triangular form with its patchwork technique. The buckle is made from Italian vegetable-tanned leather, 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, a timeless presence. 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 is being redefined. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/68/63/51/6863514547c3517cae9649f56433f421.jpg Initially, we chose to craft entirely by hand simply because it seemed straightforward. However, over time, with every stitch, every hole, every cut, and every piece, we gained a deeper 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 who pour their vitality into their creations. In different states of being, each detail will exhibit 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 meticulously sewn by hand. Employing traditional techniques, we use a saddle stitch, passing the thread completely through both the front and back of the leather, thereby firmly securing the structure of the leather piece. Adhering to the principle of "If you're going to do it, do it right," we dedicate ourselves to meticulously burnishing and finishing the edges of our leather goods, a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship. Using a specially formulated edge paint, applied and dried repeatedly, we achieve a smooth, complete edge, elevating the finished 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 color-fixing treatments at the tannery, making them less prone to oxidation and discoloration compared to natural-colored leather. Vegetable-tanned leather thrives in dry environments. It is best stored in a well-ventilated area and should be protected from prolonged 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 retain the leather's moisture, providing excellent water-repellent protection. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/fc/a2/49/fca24902da73ee1b476364f349618ad6.jpg For care, we recommend first using a dry cotton cloth or sponge to remove dust from the leather. Then, apply a moderate amount of mink oil with a clean cotton cloth or sponge, gently buffing it onto the leather until 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 state. 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 time-honored 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 immerse leather in natural plant materials such as leaves, branches, and fruits for extended periods, allowing the leather to fully absorb the tannins. This process resulted in vegetable-tanned leather with a dense structure, enhanced toughness, and exceptional durability. 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, produced using chemical industrial 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 this, we embrace imperfections, as they become proof of uniqueness. Therefore, during the production 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 method ensures that all items are new and do not age due to inventory storage. 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 differences in screen displays.
