Many of the world's most prestigious brands have high standards for the selection of materials. Leather with noticeable scratches, scuffs, or blood vessels on the surface will not be used.
The reality is that such unused leather accumulates, and leather manufacturers have a large inventory of so-called damaged leather.
We use scraps as the main material and create designs based on the material itself, which is a reverse idea.We use upcycled materials with embossing and shrink processing on the surface to make scratches on the leather less noticeable.
We transform the "leftovers" left behind by our predecessors into "desired things" and pass them on to the next generation.
