pochette <Ezo deerskin black dye/M> Leather shoulder pouch

The size is close to the frameporch M size so far. The clasp is an original made in collaboration with the jewelry brand Lano jewelry. The picking part is also different from frameporch. It is a material specification that you can enjoy aging like leather.

The shoulder strap chain is brazed brass and removable. The central part of the shoulder strap is a cowhide strap. If you remove the string, you can use it as a gama mouth pouch, and if you attach the string, you can wear it diagonally or over your shoulder.

The leather is Gibier leather, which is purchased directly from hunters instead of from leather shops, which is a feature of Mr. Takamizawa's craftsmanship. Deer skins caught in Tokachi, Hokkaido are tanned with tannin and dyed with Okazome. Deerskin is soft and has a smooth surface.

Until now, it was a Honshu deer in Wakasa Town, Tottori Prefecture, but this is the first Ezo deer in Tokachi, Hokkaido. They are the same deer, so they look similar, but Ezo deer are slightly thicker and plump. Because it is soft, all Ezo deer products are lined with linen cotton (unbleached). It is dyed with a brush, called Okazome, instead of the usual permeation dye.

The rounded shape and the expression of the clasp make it look like an adult woman. It's cute and has an atmosphere that's not too sweet. It has a good balance between a design that is not overstated and a neat and compact size.

There are no partitions or pockets.

Leather products made by Atsushi Takamizawa, six-clothing, who has a workshop in the back alley of Kappabashi, a wholesale district of cooking utensils in Asakusa, Tokyo.

Leather is tanned skin that is a by-product of the meat you eat. By tanning the leather, it becomes a "leather" material used for so-called leather products. This original animal skin is called raw hide. In most cases, leather materials are procured through leather processing factories, wholesalers, and retailers, but Mr. Takamizawa's case is a little different.

The leather used is purchased directly from domestic hunters. It is a wild animal that lives in the forests of Japan. Recently, it has become common to hear the word “Gibier” in food, but this word refers to the meat of natural wild birds and beasts that are hunted. However, when it comes to gibier, most of the skin that remains after being processed into meat is discarded. for that reason, It is the skin of animals such as bears and deer that are not generally used for leather products. Mr. Takamizawa uses leather that has been tanned and dyed after purchasing this leather directly from hunters. The leather that is tanned with vegetable tannin and handled by PINT is all naturally dyed. PINT from Mr. Takamizawa We purchase one piece of leather (for one cow) and request production. So we know when and where the leather came from. (Listed in the [Material] column at the bottom of the page and the paper tag attached to the product)

Because it is a wild beast, There are many scratches and wrinkles. Because of the natural expression of leather, it is used up as much as possible without waste. Parts that have tears, holes, or that affect the use or strength are avoided, and repaired with stitches, etc. I also use parts that I would avoid. Even if you use it without waste, the size and shape of each animal is different, and there are also large scratches that make it unusable. The small leather is also used by patchwork.

From a single piece of leather (for one animal), the leather can be used up with almost no waste, which is unthinkable from the point of view of making general leather products. For more information  Gibier leather craftsmanship List of articles Please refer to the.

Having a workshop in the back alley of Kappabashi, a food-related cooking utensils wholesale district, also reflects Mr. Takamizawa's desire to "take life." Of course, the design and craftsmanship of the product are good, but even among the leather product makers, they are producing with a particularly strong feeling.
