In fact, even if a product is labeled as "genuine leather," the price varies greatly. The price difference depends on the design and production process, but even when comparing the "leather material cost," it is not uncommon for the difference to be more than 10 times. Why does this make such a difference? Here are some reasons why: There are two main methods for manufacturing leather: chrome tanning and vegetable tanning. Currently, the majority of leather sold on the market is tanned using chemical ingredients called "chrome tanning." Chrome-tanned leather has the advantages of a relatively uniform surface finish, flexibility, and heat resistance. In addition, since it can be produced in large quantities in a short amount of time, the cost is low, but on the other hand, it is a leather that is less likely to show the "changes over time" that are the real pleasure of using genuine leather. Scratches and stains that occur over time will not change and will remain as scratches and stains, and will be visible as "deterioration." In other words, chrome-tanned leather is a material suited to mass production, and is at its most beautiful when finished. On the other hand, leather tanned using vegetable tannins is called "Nume leather". Tanning leather is an ancient method. It is a finish that preserves the texture of the raw hide, but the surface is easily affected by natural scars and blood vessels, and the texture varies depending on the part of the hide. Because it takes a long time to finish, it is expensive and cannot be called a stable material, but it is a leather that you can enjoy for its "changes over time," such as the change in luster over time and the deepening of the color. [Nubuck leather is made using traditional methods, which takes time and money, but it is not a leather that is perfect when you hold it in your hands; rather, it is a leather that you will grow to love more and more over time.] What people look for in leather is probably a material that will last a long time. "If you are going to own a leather product, choose leather that will change over time with use." With this in mind, KALEIDOSCOPE's products are produced with a focus on "tanned leather." [Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for an undamaged leather product] Because it is a natural material, there will be natural scars and unevenness here and there, but we intentionally cut it with the scars included. Please understand that there may be some small scratches. Although it may seem like a scratch, it is also proof that the leather was once alive. I think that being able to enjoy the scratches and unevenness as something unique is something that is only possible with handmade products and made from genuine tanned leather. [Attention to detail in metal fittings] All metal fittings except for the kiss lock bag are made of solid brass. Brass is considered a "metal that brings good luck" in the West and has been used as a talisman. Like leather, it is a material that becomes more beautiful the more you use it. [Production details] * Do it by hand as much as possible. KALEIDOSCOPE's products are made with the utmost care, from making the patterns to cutting the leather, using leather knives that they have sharpened themselves.
