Goodbye water rings! 👋 Finally made water-resistant leather coasters. The hand-stitching was time consuming but oh so worth it.

レザークラフトを始まった理由は長ーく使えるベルトを作りたかったんだ。やっと出来上がりました！！！どんな風に色が自然に変わるか待てない！
The reason I got into leathercraft was that I wanted to make a belt for myself that would last forever. I finally got around to making it. I can't wait to seeing how it ages!

姫路レザーのトリプルラップブレスレット。やすりがけと磨き上げで手首に滑らかで心地よい着け心地。シンプルで丈夫、使い込むほどに味わいが増していきます。Handmade triple wrap bracelet in Himeji leather. Sanded and polished for smooth, comfy edges on the wrist. Simple, durable, and made to pick up character as it’s worn. by @rickbowendesign

This wallet is three years old. The leather has acquired a wonderful patina (rich color). Originally, the outside was the same shade as the inside. However, as you can see in the second image the thread I was using at the time was not up to my current standards. Since that time my technique and materials have improved. The first image is after the restoration. This time I used better glue, restitched it with stronger thread and polished the edges smooth. Hopefully with this it will last a lifetime. by @rickbowendesign

Each piece tells a story—old or new, the beauty only gets better with age. Can you spot the ones with more history?

ひとつひとつのアイテムが、時を重ねた物語を紡ぎます。
