General Stingray Leather Sewing

Patented Technology

Sewing techniques that are not only strong and beautiful, but also allow your creations to last for a long time.
Stingray leather is very durable and ages beautifully, but it cannot be used for long if sewn using normal methods.
This sewing technique is specialized for stingray leather, allowing you to create beautiful pieces that will last a long time.

General Stingray Leather Sewing

Most of them are made by cutting grooves into the stingray leather and sewing, or by sewing in a zigzag pattern to avoid the scales.
In that case, the grooves will easily become worn out and the strength will be weakened.
In addition, the leather edges may tear and holes made with a drill may become more noticeable and become clogged with dirt.

手縫いである理由

手縫いは一つ一つ糸を交差して縫う為、擦り切れても連続してほつれないという利点があります。馬具や靴等の擦り切れる可能性がある部分には、今だに手縫いが使われるのはこの為です。技術が要る手縫いは物理的に強いだけでなく最も優れた縫製です。

工業用ミシン針が折れる程非常に強い力が必要な為、指や手首の力は一般的な職人の腕とは異なります。

Only the finest stingray leather is used

There are various grades of stingray leather. Each stingray is hand-checked for any easily falling off scales, and only soft leather with uniform grains is used.

Beautifully polished pearls

By carefully polishing the leather over and over again, we create a leather that is smooth to the touch and has a unique, lustrous, beautiful shine.

The tension of the leather can be adjusted to suit the piece

The adhesive method is changed in detail, and the pieces are pressed and dried over a period of several days to several weeks to create a strong bond. By carefully bonding the pieces over a long period of time, the material can be adjusted to suit the characteristics of the work, from soft materials like cloth to hard and sturdy belts.

Strong edges made of multiple thin layers

The cut edges of stingray leather are hard and sharp, so this is an important and difficult process. By repeating the process of "painting → drying → hand polishing" more than five times, we can create a beautiful and durable edge.
