● About leather
This leather is made from horse oil milled leather from Shinki Leather, a horsehide specialist tannery founded in 1951 in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, which is highly regarded worldwide for its cordovan leather. The leather is full vegetable tanned and left to soak in pits for the appropriate amount of time. To preserve the natural texture of the leather, it is finished with a transparent dye. It contains a lot of oil, and as you use it, the color will deepen, a sheen will develop, and the leather will develop a richer character.

● Concho
The buffalo coin used in the concho is a 5-cent coin issued in the United States between 1913 and 1938. Its official name is Indian Head Nickel, but it is also widely known as Buffalo Nickel due to the bison on the reverse side. The material is 75% copper and 25% nickel.

● Beads
The beads strung on the deerskin cord are white heart beads. They are made of glass and are characterized by their double-layered structure, with a white core covered with transparent red glass on the outside. They were mainly manufactured in Venice, Italy, from the early 19th to the early 20th century. At that time, they were exported as trade beads to all over the world, including Africa, Native Americans, and Asia. The ones used here are reproductions.

*Due to the nature of leather products, variations in color, wrinkles, and scratches may be present. Please understand that these are inherent characteristics of leather.
