[jidai] Transforming "leftovers" into "desired things" and passing them on to the next generation

Waji's new brand, made primarily from scrap wood

Many of the world's luxury brands have high standards when it comes to selecting materials.

Leather with noticeable scratches, scuffs, or blood vessels on the surface will not be used.

The reality is that such unused leather accumulates.

Leather manufacturers had a wide variety of so-called damaged leather in stock.

We consider scrap wood to be the main material, and create designs based on the material itself, which is a reverse approach.

This upcycled material has been embossed and shrunk on the surface to make scratches on the leather less noticeable.

It has a simple design with no seams, and is available in sizes that allow for easy use of the leather.

We transform the "leftovers" left behind by our predecessors into "desired things" and pass them on to the next generation.
