[Behind the scenes] I'll tell you how the key ring was made.
Hello! This is Kase from HushTug.
Have you heard of HushTug keyrings ?
This time, I will talk about the reasons and background behind creating this key ring.
It all started with a comment from a craftsman
Currently, HushTug creates wallets and business card holders out of cordovan and shell cordovan.
When making these wallets and business card holders, the craftsmen
"When making wallets or business card holders, the edges of the leather are left over..."
He blurted out, ``I'm so sorry.''
It seems that when making one product, there was so much leather left over that it wasn't even enough to make a business card holder.
So when I was thinking about what I could make with the leftover leather, a craftsman recommended something to me.
It was a "key ring."
A win-win for both the environment and customers
By making products from surplus leather, we can reduce the amount of leather wasted.
HushTug key rings are priced relatively inexpensively.
Usually, cordovan key rings cost between 10,000 and 20,000 yen.
HushTug sells it for about half that price .
Cordovan is a high-quality leather, so you probably won't have many opportunities to try it out on a wallet.
"We want everyone to feel free to try out cordovan."
With this in mind, we have now made this product a reality.
A key ring that lets you try out hard-to-find cordovan
The image above is a key ring made from shell cordovan leather.
Shell cordovan is a very hard-to-obtain leather that has a lustrous, luxurious feel.
As you use it, the color of the leather will change and the luster will increase .
Shell cordovan key rings are products that allow you to enjoy the changing colors.
The charm part can also be used as a shoe horn.
Finally
This time, we introduced the behind-the-scenes story of the production of HushTug key rings.
We hope you will take this opportunity to try out the feel of cordovan and shell cordovan.
