Crafted from shining oiled finish leather sourced from a renowned Japanese tannery in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, this card case exudes exceptional quality. The leather is exclusively vegetable-tanned, resulting in a unique scent and character.
Himeji leather production dates back to the early 1900s when a group of leather artisans from Osaka settled in Himeji to establish their own leather-making venture. Today, this leather is meticulously crafted by a select group of artisans who preserve traditional tanning and leather-making techniques passed down through generations.
The process involves tanning rawhide with vegetable tannins derived from natural sources like mimosa, quebracho, and sumac. This natural tanning process yields leather that is both sturdy and pliable, boasting a distinctive texture and character.
A skilled craftsman in Chiba oversees every aspect of Kobashi wallet production, ensuring a hand-polished finish and consistent high quality. The wallet also features a solid brass snap fastener made by Chiba's oldest snap fastener company, established in 1909.
Kobashi Studio is a small Japanese Tokyo-based atelier specializing in solid brass accessories of the highest quality and detailing found today. Its founder Junichi Kobashi draws upon completely handcrafted production using vintage machinery and manual processes to create the most special and beautiful brass and leather pieces we have ever seen.
