It contains no harmful substances, making it suitable for leather goods that come into direct contact with the skin. It is considered an eco-friendly leather. ● Color Transformation of Vegetable-Tanned Leather Natural vegetable-tanned leather darkens and develops a richer luster and suppleness over time with use. Colored vegetable-tanned leather is dyed using non-polluting pigments in the most natural way. While black may not show the same dramatic color change as natural, it will still develop a beautiful, lustrous sheen with long-term use. The unique character of vegetable-tanned leather lies in how each piece develops its own distinct patina, influenced by individual usage habits. ● Understanding the Variations on Leather Surfaces Common variations include insect bites, growth lines, brand marks, and scars (holes). Scars or holes are usually avoided in production. Brand marks may be incorporated into special designs depending on their size and shape. Natural cowhide exhibits wrinkles and growth lines due to different body parts and experiences during the animal's life, such as interactions with other cattle or insect bites. Scars and insect marks are natural occurrences. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7626/16604857008_dbb6f8e20c_o.jpg These are inherent characteristics of vegetable-tanned leather products and contribute to their natural, unadulterated appeal. We hope that before purchasing, you understand these product traits and appreciate the captivating charm of the unmodified scars and color variations found in vegetable-tanned leather. ● Care and Maintenance Avoid exposing vegetable-tanned leather to alcohol-based liquids such as perfumes and hand sanitizers, as well as lotions or beauty products. If the leather gets wet, wipe it clean with a cotton cloth and allow it to air dry in the shade. <Do not expose directly to sunlight.> To store, wipe the item clean with a cotton cloth, place it in its dust bag, and keep it in a well-ventilated, dry place. Frequent use is the best form of maintenance. ■ Origin / Taiwan ■ Manufacturing Method / Individual Independent Craftsmanship (Not factory mass-produced)
