Making the materials the creators ask for

Dyeing and finishing

Depending upon the product, the leather can be finished in the usual way as a completed material, or it can be finished after the product has been sewn together.

Linen product dyed with leather sewn on

When the product is all leather, the dyeing and drying process can shrink the size or bring out the material’s unique texture. It’s also possible to adjust the feel, making it wet, dry, soft, or hard.

All of the metal fixtures inside our company’s drums are made using custom stainless steel. Unlike the cast metal fixtures usually used in the leather industry, our drums do not react with other chemicals, and therefore won’t damage or degrade the precious products inside. The speed of rotation can also be adjusted to create an ideal environment for each product.
