What is Leather Aging? The Joy of Raising Genuine Leather and the Mechanism of Its Transformation
One of the biggest appeals of leather products is "aging."
As you use a new item, its color and texture change, developing a unique character that is all your own.
This transformation is one of the reasons to choose genuine leather.
■ What is aging?
Aging refers to the phenomenon where materials change over time.
In the case of genuine leather, the following changes occur:
・Color deepens
・Luster increases
・Becomes softer
■ Why does it change?
Genuine leather is a natural material with a living fiber structure.
Therefore, it changes under the influence of air, light, hand oils, and other factors.
■ Tips for enjoying the change
・Use it daily
・Don't over-maintain it
・Continue natural use
■ The relationship between aging and quality
The better the quality of the leather, the more beautifully it changes.
Conversely, low-quality leather can appear to deteriorate.
■ Summary
Aging is the very enjoyment of using leather.
