[YingChuan Handmade Creations] Hand-Stitched Genuine Leather Zipper Pencil Case / Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather

Size: 18X6X6cm Material: Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Color: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4371/35697451073_a52252bd0b_c.jpg Vegetable-tanned leather is the finest type of top-grain cowhide. Unlike the commonly found coated leather on the market (which involves spraying a layer of paste onto the surface to hide the original grain and imperfections, often used on belly cuts or heavily marked hides), full-grain leather showcases its most authentic state without concealment. This is precisely why each of our bags is unique, and why our designers choose vegetable-tanned leather. What marks are considered normal? During a cow's growth, natural marks like blood lines, small scars, and growth textures are unavoidable. Therefore, minor dark spots, faint black scratches, and irregular colorless lines are all considered normal. (Viewed from another perspective, these are natural beauties – isn't our appreciation for vegetable-tanned leather a pursuit of natural beauty?) Additionally, handmade processes may leave slight traces and minor variations, unlike machine-made products that achieve perfect uniformity. However, handmade items possess a unique artisanal feel. About Imperfections We discard heavily marked hides during production, leaving behind only those with minor imperfections. Over time with use, the bag will develop a more uniform, lustrous sheen. Any scratches or lines present will gradually fade. As the product is used, it will slowly develop its own unique color and texture. This gradual process of maturation is akin to your and your bag's journey together, adding beautiful memories to your life. About Color Differences Product and detail images are professionally shot and color-corrected with specialized equipment. However, color discrepancies may still occur due to variations in monitor displays. Disclaimer on Non-Quality Issues Our products are crafted from eco-friendly, top-grain cowhide. Due to factors in the animal's growth environment, such as scars, insect bites, calluses, and blemishes, natural marks are unavoidable. To preserve the most natural characteristics of top-grain leather, we refrain from applying film or coatings. These original features and handmade marks are retained during the coloring and crafting process, imbuing each piece with the warmth of life and the passage of time. Please Pay Special Attention: The surface of natural leather is prone to scratches and abrasions; please use it with care. Top-grain cowhide is a natural material. Please avoid getting it wet or immersing it in water. If such situations occur, gently pat it dry with a cotton cloth or tissue as soon as possible. Natural Top-Grain Cowhide Offers Advantages That PU, Synthetic, and Second-Layer Leathers Do Not: 1. Premium Texture 2. Natural Breathability 3. Clear and Natural Surface Grain 4. Comfortable Feel 5. Surface Sheen Resists Fading with Daily Care 6. Strong and Durable Inherent Characteristics: 1. Inconsistent surface grain, with variations in depth, lightness, thickness, and texture (unlike the uniformity of artificial PU or synthetic leather). 2. Minor, inherent marks such as blood spots, lines, or scars (we strive to avoid these but cannot completely eliminate them). Hides without such marks are typically PU, synthetic leather, second-layer leather, or used in luxury brands with premium leather. 3. Susceptibility to scratches (care and maintenance can slow or diminish their appearance). 4. Natural leather scent (this will gradually fade with ventilation or use). Origin/Manufacturing Method: Designed and handcrafted in Taiwan.
