A thorough explanation of the manufacturing process of Wagyu leather | Made in Japan quality from hide to leather, tanning and dyeing

Wagyu leather is a high-quality material that Japan is proud of.

It is made from Japanese beef hide, which is carefully processed by skilled craftsmen.

This time, we will explain the manufacturing process in detail, including the change from "skin" to "leather", tanning,

We will introduce each step of the dyeing process in order.

1. Obtaining raw hides (Japanese beef hides)

Wagyu leather starts with domestically produced Wagyu cowhide, a by-product obtained after slaughtering cattle. Only carefully selected, high-quality hides are used. The selection here greatly influences the quality of the final product.


2. Rinse and remove salt

Once harvested, the hides are first washed to remove any salt used to preserve them, a process that removes impurities and prepares them for tanning.


3. Lime soaking and hair removal

The hides are soaked in lime water to soften and remove the hairs, while at the same time allowing the hides to swell and make them easier to process.


4. Tanning (tannin, chrome, etc.)

"Tanning" is the most important process to transform hides into "leather". It uses vegetable-derived tannins and chromium to prevent decay and give the leather flexibility and durability. Environmentally friendly tannin tanning is often used for Wagyu leather.


5. Dehydration/drying

The tanned leather has excess water removed and is slowly dried. It is carefully processed in a controlled environment in Japan while preserving the quality of the leather.


6. Dyeing and finishing

After drying, the leather is dyed to give it a beautiful color and texture. The leather is then hand-finished to create a natural texture and depth. This is a process that highlights the delicate techniques that are unique to products made in Japan.


7. Inspection and cutting

Finally, the finished Wagyu leather undergoes rigorous inspection and is cut into sizes and shapes according to the intended use, ready to be used in luxury leather products such as wallets, bags, and shoes.



Wagyu leather is a material that can be said to be the culmination of Japanese food culture and artisanal techniques.
