Ostrich bags started with "this is also leather"

“This is also leather.”

These are words that my mother, the founder of the company, often said.

At the edge of the workshop, for a long time,There was a pile of ostrich leather piled high.

To be honest, I thought it was a nuisance (lol).

But I couldn't bring myself to throw it away.

It's definitely leather, just because there are no knobs.
If you look closely, you can see that it has a different expression and characteristics than the part with the knobs.

“I hope I can use this someday.”

While thinking that, even as I was pushing myself towards the edge,I left it there for a long time.

We check inventory once a year at the time of closing.

Even if you don't like the leather, you can see it even though it's pushed towards the edges.

"There's still so much left."

After many years of thinking about this, I finally decided to start.

Looking at it again, the leather has this atmosphere,I have never seen it before.

And I thought of one more thing.

This amount of ostrich remaining means thatThat's how long we've beenWe have been manufacturing products using a lot of ostrich.And.

That's why we know which parts of the leather have what characteristics.How can we handle it to make it more interesting?

I think I've become able to think about things like that.

My mother said, ``This is also leather.''As someone who inherited the Mottainai spirit,I want to cook this into something and make it into a proper product and send it out to the world.

That feeling gradually became stronger.

At first, I just wanted to use it up quickly,I took a piece of leather into a large diamond shape and made a large bag.

A total of 56 diamonds were used in one bag.

We called her "Angie 56."

I've already forgotten why it's called "Angie" (lol).

However, there is no doubt that I used 56 pieces.

However,I soon ran out of leather that would allow me to make diamonds of that size.

So this time, I went for a smaller size.

And,I decided to take the opportunity to change the look of the bag.

I've wanted to make it for a long time,It is a bag with a plump form.

The leather itself is unique enough, so this time I added a few more features.

Each piece of patchwork has a different expression.

I love the fun of this kind of leather!I hope someone who thinks so can have it.

This is a bag for enthusiasts.

After many years, the leather that remained without being thrown away,It's finally one bag.

My mother left me something that said, ``This is also leather,'' and now I'm going to ``This is what the bag has become,” he says, and sends it out to the world.
