The best material selected from raw hides
The selection of raw hides is very complicated, and the properties of leather can change depending on the difference in temperature between spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the difference in humidity such as the rainy season and dryness in winter.
In addition to that, it is necessary to determine the method of raising and processing of raw skins depending on the locality.
Among them, we carefully select raw hides of satisfactory quality by specifying the production area.
We select high-quality leather, but each raw leather has a different expression.
Raw leather is a natural product and, like human skin, no two are exactly alike.
In the same way, there are always scratches and stains, but there is no same thing as one.
We hope that you will enjoy the texture of the scratches and stains that are the proof of living in nature.
The best tanning thought out for leather and items
Speaking of tanning in general
There are various tanning methods such as tannin tanning, chrome tanning, oil tanning, and salt tanning.

In Japan, there is a stereotype that tanned leather is good and chrome tanned leather is cheap.
In fact, it doesn't matter which tanning method is better or which is worse, but because the tanning method changes the properties of the leather, you choose the tanning method according to how you want the leather to be finished in the end. increase.
Furthermore, in some cases, multiple tannings may be combined.
Plant tannins, instead of one kind, mix several and change the composition depending on the texture you want to finish.
And each tanner has a secret recipe for tannin tanning and chrome tanning.
The concentrations and types of chemicals used, as well as the formulations and methods used, are different, and each has its own finishing method.
Based on them, the BONCOURA Leather Project started.
At first, it didn't have the feel, texture, and color that we were looking for. Once I cleared it, a new problem appeared, and before I knew it, I was doing trial and error using dozens of raw hides.
With the cooperation of skilled craftsmen, we were able to create a suede with the texture that we envisioned after a long period of trial and error.
The suede developed this time is soft, elegant and smooth to the touch, and is tanned with special tanning that is resistant to color transfer and water. And we have created an ideal product that allows you to fully enjoy the original texture of leather without applying makeup such as pigments on the surface.
Sewing
Carefully hand-cut by craftsmen one by one
Each piece of leather is carefully cut by hand.
The purpose of this process is to check the condition of each piece of fabric and avoid scratches, but another important point is to determine the expression of the fabric. The hair on the side is long and the back is short.
The individuality of which part of the leather is to be lengthened or shortened is determined from the limited size of one piece of leather, so the craftsman's sense of reading the condition of the leather shines.
It is often seen in leather products, but regardless of the design, there are unnecessary seams just for cost reduction, which often makes it uncomfortable to wear.
I couldn't make something that I wasn't satisfied with just because of the cost, so I used leather lavishly without unnecessary joints that had nothing to do with the design.
All accessories such as buttons are original.
