The charm of Tochigi leather
Long lasting and high qualityTochigi leather production goes through more than 20 steps from "raw leather" to "leather". Traditional tanning methods go through multiple steps and time to create strong leather.
・Vegetable tanning
A method of tanning using vegetable tannins. Leather is hard, durable, and not easily deformed. This is its characteristic. Because they are easily affected by sunlight and oil, they require regular maintenance. The characteristics that change over time have the characteristics of aging (annual changes).
・Chrome tanning
A method of tanning that uses a chemical called chromium. The beauty is that it can be made in a short time. Compared with vegetable-tanned leather, it has less aging (aging changes), has superior waterproof and heat-resistant properties, and is durable even without maintenance.
The biggest characteristic is aging (changes in the new year)
I believe it will be more intuitive to look at the following photos than to explain.
This is a brand new Tochigi leather tote bag natural camel that has not been used yet.

Then this is a natural camel Tochigi leather tote bag that has been used for about 2 years. Compared with the new one, it feels like this. Use it every day and still not get tired of it. You will feel like you want to continue using it more and more. Not just wallets or handbags, every leather product you encounter is something you want to use for a long time. But if you keep doing the same thing all the time, you might get bored. The biggest charm of leather products is their aging (changes with each passing year), and Tochigi Leather has changes beyond expectations.
You can enjoy the aging every day (year-on-year change). Compared with the new product when you first got it, the color is darker and the tone is also changing. This kind of wallet will not get tired and can be used for a long time.
"The changes are pleasant, and I look forward to more changes in the future."
These are words received directly from customers. This is true for leather products that can enjoy aging (seasonal changes).
Especially Tochigi leather, its texture, luster and various expressions make it enjoyable to appreciate from different angles.

Our domestic brand "JAPAN FACTORY" will continue to manufacture and sell leather products.
