Material Selection The cowhide leather used by "Cut Line" is exclusively A-grade, full-vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Italy. As a natural material processed with vegetable tanning methods that minimize damage to the leather's integrity, it's natural to find minor "scratches," "wrinkles," or "vein marks" on the surface. We carefully select our materials during the cutting process, aiming to avoid these imperfections or place them on less visible or non-stress-bearing parts of the product. 2. Hand-Stitched Seams Our products are entirely hand-stitched, eschewing the use of sewing machines. Before stitching, specialized awls are used to create precise holes in the leather, enabling the formation of beautiful, wave-like stitches that distinguish our work from machine-sewn items. While this process significantly extends production time, it is a crucial step where the artisan imbues the leather goods with soul and a warm, tactile feel. 3. Hand-Burnished Edges Before completion, the edges of the leather are meticulously burnished and sealed. This process ensures the edges appear smooth, rounded, and natural. "Cut Line" employs a unique edge-finishing technique. First, sandpaper is used to repeatedly smooth any sharp edges. Then, an edge-sealing liquid is applied to create a flat surface, a process repeated 2-3 times. Finally, a layer of edge-sealing wax is applied, followed by vigorous polishing with a burnishing tool until the edges achieve a smooth, refined finish. 4. Hand-Dyed Leather For our hand-dyed products, "Cut Line" uses imported Fiebing's leather alcohol dyes from the United States. To achieve a uniform and natural coloration, the leather surface is first dampened with water. Then, a sponge is used to apply the dye repeatedly, building from light to deep hues until the desired color is achieved. Once dry, a color-fixing agent is applied to enhance colorfastness. The surface is then wiped with clean water to remove any dust and further even out the color. As each piece is hand-dyed, subtle variations in color will exist between individual bags, making each one unique.
