Taking advantage of the lightness of horse leather

The first thing that surprises you when you pick it up is its lightness, which is a characteristic of horse leather. Horse leather is inferior in thickness and toughness to cowhide, but it is also attractive because it is light, soft and easy to fit in the hand, and it is because horse leather can be finished in such a light bag. I am using horse leather from Tanner A. CASTRO & FILHOS, which was founded in 1944 in Sao João da Madeira, near Porto, the second largest city in Portugal. At a factory that consistently makes from tanning to finishing using horse leather from Central Europe, the horse leather used this time is a little with frictional heat after adding animal oil and wax during dyeing and tanning with full vegetable tannins. It has been burnished to give it a charred finish. This is a processing method that is often used to finish the uppers of western boots and casual shoes, which is also called charring, and it gives a matte and deep look that is not too noticeable even in everyday wear. In addition, the thin leather round cord is made by straining the same leather as the main body to a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm, making the leather into a tube shape with an acrylic thread as the core, and sewing it with a sewing machine. By not using a different material for the string part, it gives an elegant impression with a sense of unity.

VEGETABLE HORSE LEATHER / DROP SHAPE POUCH S (drawstring bag) is the size that you can always put things you want to take out immediately, such as handkerchiefs and masks, in your mobile phone. Since the mouth opens wide, it is a small bag, but it is easy to see what is inside and it is easy to take out. There are two ways to hold it, such as holding the two front and rear strings in the same length and holding it in your hand, or lengthening only one and hanging it on your shoulder. Of course, it's not too casual for everyday use, so it can be used as a bag for days when you wear a dress without pockets.
