Original material "Sand Leather" | Developed in collaboration with Setouchi Leather

"Sand Leather," which was developed in collaboration with Setouchi Leather, a tannery that processes hides into leather, has a pattern that resembles natural wood grain by processing the leather surface to make it fluffy.

The pattern is slightly rough to the touch, which makes scratches less noticeable and gives the piece a tasteful appearance.

Enjoy the changes over time

Sand leather is thoroughly soaked in oil before processing, so with each use the oil seeps out and transforms into beautiful, lustrous leather.

Thanks to the surface treatment, it ages faster than regular leather, and you can immediately enjoy the smooth shine of the leather.

Rescue damaged leather

Leather that would otherwise be discarded as sub-grade with even a small scratch can be reborn as tasteful sand leather with ingenuity and processing.

Threads selected to match the color of the leather

At Kawanishi Kaban, we use different stitching threads to match the various colors of leather.

Genuine leather has its own unique dye finish, so you need to choose thread that matches the color of the leather. Changing the thread every time is not an efficient way to go.

However, products made with threads that are perfectly suited to leather have a neat and elegant appearance.

"We want to spare no effort in pursuing the style we are aiming for," and this commitment is also reflected in the way we choose our yarns.

*Leather is natural.
Each piece has a different surface texture, with wrinkles, stains, and scratches.
We do our best to minimize discrepancies, but please be aware that the texture of the product you receive may differ from that in the photo.
(We deliver products that are free of quality issues.)
