[No. 7] Shinki Leather（2/2）


We spare no effort and strive for the highest quality.


1. Twenty wooden pits for tanning are lined up. The tannins are slowly and carefully penetrated between the fibers. Raw hides would rot if left as they were, so this process prevents decay and transforms them into leather that can be used in products. This technique is called "tanning."


2. Dye the fabric by rotating it in the drum. Since it won't dye completely in one go, repeat this process several times.


3. After tanning, the leather is dried. It transforms from "hide" to "leather."


4. Glazing, the finishing process of tanning. This process lays down the dense fiber layers and gives them a glossy finish.


5. The atelier of THE WARMTHCRAFTS-MANUFACTURE . Using molds, they are luxuriously cutting large sheets of rare cordovan leather.


6. The interior of the leather goods is lined with horsehide.
