Hand-Stitched Plump Croissant Pouch / Italy's Finest Leather - Minerva Box

■ Artisan's Dedication 10 Hours of Craftsmanship: From cutting and edge polishing to the final stitch, a single artisan dedicates approximately 10 hours to create each piece. Luxurious Material: For this creation, we've used "Minerva Box," a masterpiece from Italy's renowned Badarassi Carlo tannery. Supple Texture: Characterized by its moist, soft feel that seems to melt into your hand. Natural Leather Grain: The natural puckering, or "shibo," created through a process called "kuuchi" gives it a realistic texture akin to the surface of freshly baked bread. Enjoy the Color Transformation: As you use it, the leather deepens into a rich amber hue, much like the "toasted color" of a real croissant, and you can enjoy watching it mature over time. Dimensional Beauty: A three-dimensional patchwork that beautifully expresses the layers of a croissant. Its resilience and texture are sure to delight you with every touch. ■ User Experience This zipper type is slightly larger than a clasp frame, offering enhanced storage capacity. Your Adorable Organizer Within Your Bag Perfectly palm-sized, it's ideal as a "mini makeup pouch" for your lipstick and blush. Each time you open your bag, a realistic croissant peeks out, adding a touch of joy to your daily touch-ups. Its unique design is sure to capture admiring glances from those around you whenever you take it out of your bag. It also makes a wonderfully surprising and special gift for someone dear. Before Purchasing a Genuine Leather Product, Please Know: 1. About Material Characteristics - Genuine leather is a natural material, so variations in color, grain (surface texture), and minor scratches are considered unique characteristics. - The texture of each product may differ, so the actual item might not perfectly match the images. 2. Color Transformation (Aging) - Genuine leather darkens (becomes more amber) and develops a sheen with exposure to sunlight and use. - Aniline and vegetable-tanned leathers, in particular, are materials designed to be enjoyed as they age. 3. Precautions During Use - It is sensitive to water, oil, and sweat, so avoid use in rainy weather or when handling with dirty hands. - Direct sunlight and environments with high temperature and humidity can cause deformation and fading. 4. Care Instructions - Regular care with a dedicated leather cream or waterproofing spray is recommended. - If dirty, gently wipe with a soft cloth and consult a specialist if needed (improper self-treatment may cause deterioration). 5. Initial Smell and Stiffness - New genuine leather may have a distinct smell and feel stiff, but it will soften and become more comfortable with use. 6. Storage - If storing for an extended period, keep in a well-ventilated, shaded area and stuff with paper to maintain its shape. .Returns & Exchanges - As leather is a natural material, we cannot accept returns solely due to differences in color or texture. - In the case of a clear defect, please contact us within 7 days of arrival. .Customization Options - The type of clasp can be changed; please select from the purchase options. - Customization typically takes approximately 7-10 days. - Please note that returns are not accepted for custom-made products.
