Natural animal leather tanned using tannin extracted from plants
Refers to natural leather tanned using plant-extracted tannin ingredients. Because it is processed with plant-based ingredients instead of chemical agents like chrome, the raw hide's inherent wrinkles and scars are revealed on the surface. As it is used, it features a deepening of color and a change in luster due to friction and sunlight.

Because artificial pigment coating is minimal, the raw hide's original pores, fine wrinkles, and scratch marks are visible on the surface. Initially, the surface is matte and stiff, but as it is used, it absorbs natural oils from hands and friction, gradually darkening in color and developing a glossy sheen.
Use
It is widely used across miscellaneous goods such as wallets, belts, bags, and shoes, and is also used for the outer shell of rider jackets and coats. It is frequently used for logo label patches attached to the back waistband of jeans or for watch straps.
Care
Because it is sensitive to moisture, the leather surface easily swells or stains if water touches it, so moisture must be wiped off immediately. Apply a dedicated conditioner or oil so that the leather does not dry out and crack, and store it in a well-ventilated, shaded place away from direct sunlight.
