Magnet Miniature Flying Boy's Mini Sneaker

These are magnets for your whiteboard. Tiny, delicate sneakers made of leather. A strong magnet sheet is sewn onto the sole of the shoe. 【Specifications】 ・Material: Cowhide (Tochigi Leather) ・Thread: Linen ・Size: Approximately 38mm in sole length 【About Magnetic Strength】 We use magnets designed for industrial and special applications. In a windless indoor environment, on a vertically hung whiteboard, we measured the number of sheets of mini-system notebook paper that could be held for over 30 minutes. ・Button magnet (3cm diameter): 20 sheets ・Short boots (one foot): 18 sheets ・Short boots (both feet): 18 sheets While not quite reaching the level of familiar button magnets, we believe the magnetic force is sufficient for use in offices and homes. To my surprise, the number of sheets held was the same whether using one foot or both. Thickness appears to have a greater impact on magnetic strength than the weight of the item being held. 【What is Tochigi Leather?】 The natural texture, including pores and blood lines (traces of blood vessels) that are evidence of the animal's life, remains intact, and a faint, pleasant aroma can be detected when brought close to the nose. "Tochigi Leather," which conveys the natural charm of cowhide, is cowhide tanned from "raw hide" to "leather" by Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd. (Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture). This is top-grade cowhide, tanned through a meticulous 20-step process passed down since the company's founding in 1937, using vegetable tannins extracted from mimosa bark, without harmful chemicals. The "Tochigi Leather" known for its natural grain is highly regarded not only in Japan but also by leading overseas apparel manufacturers. 【The Symbol of Tochigi Leather, The Red Tag】 The red tag is permitted only for works created with 100% "Tochigi Leather." At "Your Side Door," we attach the "red tag," the symbol of "Tochigi Leather," to works priced at 3000 yen or more, but all our works use "Tochigi Leather." As we are located in the same prefecture, we proudly create our products using 100% "Tochigi Leather." 【Whiteboard Excitement Operation Project - Part 2】 In December 2016, the second installment finally begins. This is a series of leather-made magnets for whiteboards. With items for a new journey by two little characters, we aim to bring excitement to your whiteboard.

The Two's Mini Lost Item Finder 【Japan Leather Award 2024】 In 2024, Your Side Door was nominated as a "Selected Work" for the Grand Prix selection in the Japan Leather Award, receiving a commemorative plaque. *While we take the utmost care in inventory management, items may be out of stock due to simultaneous sales at our atelier or other events. In the event of an item being out of stock, we will inform you of the estimated time for remaking and inquire about your wish to cancel. *The leather used is not coated with pigment on the grain side, so it may show uneven color, blood lines (traces of blood vessels), tiger stripes (wrinkles from the animal's life), scratches, insect bite marks, blackening from residual iron, or traces of hair follicles. Among vegetable-tanned cowhide, we use natural or aniline finishes where such characteristics of natural leather are strongly present. *The colors in the posted images may differ depending on the lighting conditions at the time of photography and your display settings. *As each item is handmade and one-of-a-kind, there may be slight differences in shape, as well as minor, unnoticeable scratches or color variations.
