[Things to Know When Choosing Genuine Leather Products] Did you know that there are significant differences in the properties and prices of genuine leather products? In reality, even with products labeled "genuine leather," prices can vary widely. While price differences are influenced by design and manufacturing processes, the "cost of leather material" alone can differ by more than tenfold. Why such a difference? Here's why. There are broadly two tanning methods: "chrome tanning" and "vegetable tanning." Currently, most leather circulating in the market is chrome-tanned using chemical agents. Chrome-tanned leather has advantages such as a relatively uniform surface finish, flexibility, and heat resistance. It can also be produced in large quantities in a short time, making it cost-effective. However, on the flip side of these advantages, it is a leather that does not easily develop the "aging" characteristics that are the true appeal of genuine leather. Scratches and stains from use remain as they are, appearing as "deterioration." In other words, [chrome-tanned leather is a material suited for mass production, and it is at its most beautiful when it is finished]. On the other hand, leather tanned using plant-based tannins is called "nume leather." Nume leather tanning is an ancient method. It retains the natural texture of the raw hide, and its surface is prone to showing natural scratches and vein marks, with variations in texture depending on the part. It takes a long time to finish, making it costly and not always a stable material. However, it is a leather where you can enjoy "aging," such as changes in luster and deepening of color over time. [Nume leather is made using traditional methods, requiring time and cost, and it is not perfect when you first hold it, but rather a leather that grows more cherished over a long period]. Isn't what you seek in leather as a material something that can "stay with you for a long time"? [If you're going to own a leather product, we want you to choose a leather whose changes you can appreciate as you use it for a long time.] With this philosophy, KALEIDOSCOPE's creations focus on "nume leather." [Initially, it has a smooth, bare-skin texture, but as you use it, friction polishes it, creating a beautiful luster.] You can enjoy its daily changes. This leather is prone to water stains. Please avoid using it in rainy weather. *Even if stains appear, consider them part of the aging process; they will mature into an amber hue with continued use. [Those seeking a flawless leather product should refrain from purchasing.] As we finish natural leather in its raw state, there are occasional natural scars and unevenness. We deliberately cut the leather, including these marks. Please understand that minor scratches are possible. If you perceive them as "scratches," they might bother you, but they are also proof that this leather was once alive. We believe that enjoying scratches and unevenness as unique characteristics is part of the appeal of handmade, genuine nume leather. [Commitment to Hardware] All hardware, except for the clasp, is made of solid brass. Brass is considered a "metal that brings good luck" in Europe and America, and like leather, it gains character with age and use. [Commitment to Craftsmanship] *As much by hand as possible. KALEIDOSCOPE's works are meticulously crafted, from pattern making to leather cutting, with a commitment to "using a leather knife I sharpened myself for as much hand-cutting as possible."
