【About the leather – Tochigi Leather Vegetable-Tanned Leather】

This is pit-tanned vegetable-tanned leather that fully showcases the natural texture of the leather.

Pit tanning is a traditional method of slowly tanning leather using vegetable tannins.

The hides are soaked in “pits” like water tanks and carefully finished over several weeks to months.

Although it is a time-consuming process, the leather becomes durable and resilient, and its character deepens with use.

• Size: Strap width 1.5 cm, length (extended) 30.5 cm
• Material: Leather, solid brass

The Superior Labor was founded in 2007 by Makoto Kawai, a master of leatherwork and vintage clothing. The workshop at Nap Village was established in 2012, high in the Okayama mountains, where a small team cuts and sews every piece by hand.

The quality of materials and superb craftsmanship are what sets TSL apart. Paraffin-coated canvas, Tochigi and glove leather, and solid brass hardware are all chosen to wear in rather than wear out.

Our range covers the stationery side of what they make: pen cases and pen rolls, A5 and A6 notebook covers, zip organisers, canvas and leather pouches, and the Engineer and Mission Case bags, alongside brass charms and clips. New collections are released twice a year and are usually offered here as a pre-order before they land.
