■ About Upcycling and Our CommitmentHigashikagawa City, Kagawa Prefecture, is a town where companies and artisans with excellent sewing skills gather. We use high-quality unused leather (leather scraps) from the sewing factories in this town, viewing them as fragments of gemstones. With the concept of "Bringing sparkle to scraps and everyday life," artisans sew these materials. Furthermore, through skilled recoloring techniques, we create upcycled bags in gemstone colors.
■ Features to Maximize the Use of Unused Leather"Pieced together by artisans' handwork to create gemstone cut lines."Scraps are joined together to express the "emerald cut," one of the representative cuts of gemstones. It is difficult to create by layering scraps of different thicknesses and textures. Through our accumulated knowledge and skills, we have realized our "gemstone bags connected by gemstone cut lines." This allows us to save more leather scraps that would otherwise be discarded.Currently, sewing factories discard approximately 30% of each piece of leather. By using these scraps to produce five PLUS CARAT 1,000ct Bags, we can achieve a 20% reduction in waste.
"Beautiful colors that are hard to believe they are made from unused leather, achieved through recoloring."This process maximizes the potential of unused leather, restoring small scratches and color fading, and leading to the maximum utilization of scraps.Furthermore, the difference between "matte" and "glossy" finishes creates variations in texture and how the color appears depending on the angle, expressing the gemstone-like quality.
