What kind of processing is the 'bbau (buffing)' mentioned in the shoe description?
While reading the shoe color description, I came across an unfamiliar process name. I am curious about what kind of treatment is applied to the leather to change its appearance.
It is a manual polishing process that rubs and wipes the leather surface with a rotating brush or soft cloth to bring out subtle 2 color tones.
This expression is encountered in the description of the DARK BROWN option among AMOMENTO's Classic maryjane shoes. Buffing is commonly called bbau at manufacturing sites, referring to a polishing method that rubs the surface with a rotating cloth or brush to add gloss or peel away layers of color.
It is rubbed directly by hand. AMOMENTO applied a skilled buffing process to the surface of the DARK BROWN color leather to create a two-tone color where two shades appear together[1]. A subtle contrast of light and shade was created by partially peeling away the color layered over the base leather.
Due to the nature of manual work done by human hands, there may be slight differences in shades and polished texture for each finished shoe[2]. Because it leaves marks of being wiped by hand rather than uniformly covered by machine, each shoe takes on a slightly different color shade.
The specific polishing tools or work standards used in the bbau process have not yet been confirmed in official materials.
