Material Selection The cowhide used by "Qie Xian Pai" is exclusively A-grade, high-oil vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Italy. As a natural material, and due to the leatherworks' use of vegetable tanning, a process that minimizes damage to the hide, the leather surface may inevitably bear minor "scars," "wrinkles," or "vein marks." We endeavor to avoid these during the cutting process or place them on less visible or non-stressed areas of the product. 2. Hand-Stitched Seams Our products are not made with sewing machines; all items are meticulously hand-stitched. Before stitching, special diamond chisels are used to punch sewing holes in the leather, which is essential for achieving the beautiful wavy stitch effect, distinguishing it from machine stitching. While this significantly increases production time, it is a crucial step where the leather artisan imbues the piece with its soul and a warm, tactile feel. 3. Hand-Burnished Edges Before completion, the leather edges are carefully burnished and sealed. This process ensures the edges appear smooth, rounded, and natural. "Qie Xian Pai" employs a unique edge-finishing method. First, sandpaper is used to repeatedly smooth any sharp edges. Then, an edge-sealing liquid is applied to create a flat surface, repeated 2-3 times. Following this, a layer of edge-sealing wax is applied, and the edges are then repeatedly buffed with a burnishing tool until they achieve a smooth finish. 4. Hand-Dyed Leather For its hand-dyed products, "Qie Xian Pai" currently uses imported Fiebing's leather alcohol dyes from the United States. To achieve a uniform and natural coloration, we begin by dampening the leather surface with water. Then, using a sponge, the dye is applied layer by layer, from light to deep, 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 surface dust and further even out the color. As this is a purely handmade dyeing process, subtle variations exist between the colors of each bag, making every piece unique.
