In this interview, we showed a part of the production of "switch shoulder" using the brand's icon, handle and crocodile leather.
Here's a video of it.
Each of them is explained by the designer.
manufacturing process of the handle.
All the handles are made in the studio.
This process is carried out by designer father Mitsushi.
Since the length and the leather of the handle are different depending on the work, it is necessary to adjust the pressure and the sense of subtlety.
The craftsman's skill is that he carefully checks each and every part, such as the size, bonding, and unwinding, after identifying those parts and applying appropriate treatment.
This "face" part of the brand is packed with concentration, precision and technology.
From cutting to sewing of crocodile leather
In particular, the cutting and sewing of crocodile leather was shown in part of the process.
Considering the individual difference of the leather, the position is carefully checked many times, and the back side is carefully positioned to make a beautiful product without waste.
This process of determining the cut placement will take some time and proceed carefully.
The pattern paper exclusive for crocodile leather is placed in the center of the leather, and the connection surface is determined while considering pattern matching.
Because there are many wrinkles and steps, high concentration is required for cutting.
In order not to waste leather, the leather that can be used is cut and sewn as much as possible.
From the attitude of not neglecting detailed confirmation work, you can see a part of high consciousness of quality and creation.
