To enjoy the individuality of natural leather
All HushTug products are made from the natural leather of animals raised on the Mongolian grasslands. Some products may have scratches or wrinkles that were there when the animals were alive.
In addition, each product is made and finished by hand, so no two products have exactly the same expression.
When you receive your product, we hope you will feel the charm of natural leather and enjoy this one-of-a-kind item.
About leather: "Characteristics of natural leather"
Tiger (striped pattern)
Tigers refer to the streaky stripes that can be seen in areas prone to wrinkling, such as the neck, shoulders, and back.
This pattern is evidence that the animal was active when it was alive, and is proof that the leather is durable, which is essential for leather bags.
Blood veins (streaks caused by blood vessels)
Blood veins are traces of an animal's blood vessels that appear on the surface (silver) and look like the veins of a leaf or lightning bolts.
The marks tend to be more evident in areas of the animal where the skin is thin or the blood vessels are large.
Rose scars (scratch marks)
Bruises are scars caused by cows hitting trees or rocks while grazing, or by fighting with other cows.
This is characteristic of animals that lived freely and grazed, and so scars are common on the hides. They can be line-like like scratches, or round scars.
Stains and uneven color (due to the unique characteristics of leather fibers)
Just like human skin, leather can have spots and unevenness to begin with. These differences in the original texture of the leather result in differences in how it takes on dye.
About the product
Soft leather
Even leather from the same animal has different hardness and texture depending on the part. In the case of cowhide, the leather from the shoulder is hard and the leather from the belly is soft.
Therefore, depending on the part of the product, the feel may be slightly different, and the time it takes for the leather to become soft may vary. Such leather is used in parts of the product that require a particularly soft feel.
Atari
Atari are marks that appear on a product as it is used. Atari are likely to appear in areas where the leather and lining overlap or where metal fittings come into contact.
Also, the texture of the marks will change depending on how you use the product, so we hope you enjoy it as a unique change that occurs over time.
