An uncompromising aesthetic in every detail that dwells in the final process.

``Edge twisting'' and ``polishing the edge (cross section of the leather)'' are done at the final stage of making an item.

This process, which affects the impression of the work, is one of the most important processes that we cannot compromise on.

It enhances the overall impression of the product and creates a neat and clean appearance.

The aesthetics of lines down to the millimeter determine the impression.

Scrape off the corner of the edge (heli-otoshi) and carve a line just 1mm from the edge using ``edge twist''.

Then run a hand stitch right next to it, 2.5mm from the edge.

This "balance between white space and lines" is the secret to giving amba's products a dignified expression and a high-quality, clean feel.

Several pieces of leather, as if they were ``one piece from the beginning.''

amba's products are made of all-leather material with "solid" leather that is also pasted on the back side.

In many areas, such as coin purses, up to seven layers of leather overlap.

We carefully apply one coat of base, two or three coats of paint (Fenice), and repeat polishing.

We aim to erase the overlapping borders and create a smoothness that feels as if it was a single piece of leather from the beginning.

``Commonplace comfort'' is fostered through tailoring that doesn't make you conscious of it.

For those who use it, they may not be aware of how many layers of leather are layered or the detailed process.

However, that's why we take care of the details as if it were ``natural.''

“For some reason, it feels good to the touch.” “This feels good in my hand.”

The comfort that you can feel in your daily life is the true value that we put into our tailoring.
