What kind of finishing is the 'raw cut method' mentioned in the description?
When looking at the description of the leather strap attached to the charm, you might wonder what kind of finishing method raw cut is and how the edges are treated.
It is a finishing method that brings out the original texture by leaving the cut cross-section exposed as it is, without folding the leather edges or applying finishing agents.
Raw cut refers to a method of exposing the cut cross-section as it is, without rolling or folding the leather edges inward or applying chemical finishing agents.
It is a choice made to showcase the material's natural grain. MARGESHERWOOD used 100% Suede type cow leather, a cowhide material, for the strap of the heart charm[1]. After going through a process to create a soft surface, dyeing processing was carried out[2], and to bring out the leather's unique texture, the edges were crafted using the raw cut method[3].
Generally, applying finishing chemicals to leather edges covers them with a smooth coating film, but leaving the cross-section as it is exposes suede's characteristic soft, fine leather fiber layer along the edge.
hmmm, thanks to keeping the edges open without artificially concealing them, the leather's natural texture and grain naturally catch the eye even on a thin strap.
Information on whether leather dust or fuzz forms from the cross-section finished with raw cut has not yet been confirmed in official materials.
