[The appeal of domestic leather] What is the "Wagyu Leather" selected by NO SIGN?
Share
In recent years, domestic leather has been attracting attention as a sustainable, high-quality material.
Among them, "Wagyu Leather" has received high praise from domestic and international brands.
We will explain in detail the appeal of "Wagyu Leather" used by Japanese leather brand NO SIGN, including the characteristics of the material, the manufacturing process, and the reasons why it is chosen.
What is Wagyu Leather?
Wagyu leather is leather (hide) made from Japanese black cattle, such as Wagyu cattle, raised in Japan. Wagyu beef is widely known for its high-quality meat, but its leather is also of extremely high quality. It is characterized by its fine, soft texture and strong fiber structure.
Wagyu leather has fewer scratches than regular cowhide, and has a soft texture that you can feel the moment you touch it. Japanese tanners (leather craftsmen) with excellent processing techniques give it a beautiful finish that preserves its natural texture.
Why "NO SIGN" Chooses Wagyu Leather
NO SIGN is a Japanese leather brand with the concept of "beauty with space." Their products are characterized by designs that eliminate waste and maximize the inherent beauty of the material. There are several reasons why NO SIGN chose Wagyu leather from among the many leather materials available:
1. High quality control unique to domestically produced products
The Wagyu leather used by NO SIGN is produced in Miyazaki Prefecture and has consistent traceability (production history) managed within Japan, which matches NO SIGN's quality standards. It is clear where the cows were raised and how they were processed, making it a material that can be used with confidence.
2. Use of sustainable materials
Normally, the hide of Wagyu cattle used for meat is discarded, but NO SIGN makes effective use of this by-product, the hide. They adhere to a sustainable approach that aims for zero waste while minimizing the environmental impact. This allows them to create products that are not only "beautiful" but also "socially meaningful."
3. The texture improves with use
The appeal of Wagyu leather is that it ages with use, developing a deeper luster and a richer character. Combined with NO SIGN's minimalist design, this allows users to enjoy their own unique aging process, which is one of the reasons for its popularity.
Fusion with Japanese tannery techniques
The appeal of Wagyu leather is enhanced by the presence of world-renowned Japanese tanners (artisans who tan). Using techniques that combine tradition and innovation, they use vegetable tanning, which minimizes the use of chemicals, and finishing techniques using natural oils, achieving both environmental friendliness and beauty.
Himeji City in Hyogo Prefecture and Tochigi Prefecture in particular are known as producers of high-quality leather, and NO SIGN products use materials processed by tanners in these regions.
