In fact, even if they are labeled as "genuine leather goods", their prices vary greatly. The difference in price depends on the design and manufacturing process, but it is not uncommon for the same genuine leather to have a difference of 10 times or more even when comparing the "leather material cost". Why are there so many differences? Here's why. There are two main methods of making leather. "Chrome tanning" and "vegetable tanning". Currently, most of the leather on the market is leather tanned using chemical ingredients called “chrome tanning”. Chrome tanned leather has the advantage of a relatively uniform surface finish, flexibility and heat resistance. In addition, the cost is low because it can be finished in large quantities in a short time, but on the other hand, it is a leather that does not easily change over time, which is the real pleasure of using genuine leather. Scratches and stains over time remain unchanged and appear as "deterioration". In other words, [chrome tanned leather is a material suitable for mass production, and the leather is most beautiful when finished]. On the other hand, leather that is tanned using the astringency of plants, called "vegetable tanning," is called "tanned leather." The tanning of tanned leather is an ancient process. The finish retains the texture of the raw leather, and the surface is easily affected by natural scratches and blood stains, and the softness varies depending on the part. It takes a long time to finish, so the cost is high, and it is hard to say that it is a stable material. It can be said that [Nume leather is made using an old method that takes time and cost, but it is not perfect when you hold it in your hand, but you will grow to love it over a long period of time]. What you are looking for in a material called leather, isn't it "a material that can be used for a long time"? “Since you have a leather product, we want you to choose a leather that you can enjoy the change of using for a long time.” Based on this idea, KALEIDOSCOPE's works are produced with a focus on "tanned leather".
