Material Selection The cowhide used by "Cut Line" is all A-grade, high-oil vegetable-tanned leather from Italy. As it is a natural material, and the tannery uses vegetable tanning methods that cause minimal damage to the leather, the surface may inevitably have minor "scars," "wrinkles," or "vein marks." We strive to avoid these during the cutting process or place these sections 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 punch sewing holes in the leather, creating a beautiful wavy stitch effect that distinguishes it 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 warm, tactile feel. 3. Hand-Burnished Edges Before completion, the edges of the leather are burnished and sealed. This process ensures the edges appear smooth, rounded, and natural. "Cut Line" employs its unique edge-finishing method. First, sandpaper is used to repeatedly smooth any sharp edges. Then, an edge sealant is applied to create a flat surface, repeated 2-3 times. Finally, a layer of edge wax is applied and then repeatedly buffed with a burnishing tool until the edges achieve a smooth finish. 4. Hand-Dyed Leather For our 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, gradually deepening the shade until the desired color is reached. After drying, a color-fixing agent is applied to enhance colorfastness. The surface is also wiped with clean water to remove any dust and further even out the color. As each piece is hand-dyed, there are subtle variations in color between each bag, making every item unique.
