Material Selection The cowhide currently used by "Cut Line" is all A-grade, high-fat, vegetable-tanned leather from Italy. As it is a natural material, and the tannery uses the vegetable-tanning process, which minimizes damage to the leather, the hide may inevitably have minor "scars," "wrinkles," and "veins." When cutting the leather, we will do our best to avoid these areas or place them on less visible or non-load-bearing parts of the product. 2. Pure Hand Stitching We do not use sewing machines to craft our products; all items are meticulously hand-stitched. Before stitching, special diamond chisels are used to create the stitch holes on the leather, which is how we achieve those beautiful, wave-like stitches, a distinct difference from machine stitching. While this significantly increases production time, it is a crucial step where the leather artisan imbues the piece with soul and a smooth, tactile feel. 3. Hand Burnishing and Edge Finishing Before the final product is complete, the last step is burnishing and finishing the leather edges. This is done to ensure the edges appear smooth, rounded, and natural. "Cut Line" has its own unique edge-finishing method. First, sandpaper is used to repeatedly smooth the sharp edges of the leather. Then, an edge-finishing liquid is applied to create a level surface, repeated 2-3 times. Following this, a layer of edge-finishing wax is applied, and finally, a burnishing tool is used to rub the edges repeatedly until they achieve a smooth finish. 4. Hand-Dyed Leather For its hand-dyed products, "Cut Line" currently uses imported Fiebing's leather alcohol dyes from the United States. To achieve even and natural coloration, we begin by dampening the leather surface with water. Then, using a sponge, we apply the dye layer by layer, from light to dark, until the desired color is achieved. After it dries, a color sealant is applied to enhance colorfastness. Finally, we lightly apply water to the surface of the leather to remove any dust and further even out the color. Because the dyeing process is entirely by hand, each bag will have subtle variations in color, making every piece unique.
