Himalayas

premium crocodile

Tanner: Fujitoyo Kogyo [Sumida - Japan]

The Himalayas are a myriad of mountain ranges that separate the Tibetan Plateau, famous as the world's largest plateau, and the Indian Peninsula. It is an area with an overwhelming scale of 8,000m above sea level, and an area with unparalleled scenery in the world.
Inspired by the Himalayas, Himalaya is a crocodile leather.

Among crocodiles, Nile crocodile is highly praised all over the world for its well-balanced scale pattern and high-quality leather.
Among the highly rare Nile crocodiles, we select those that pass strict quality checks and display the beautiful gradation of white and brown that resembles the Himalayas.

Why can it only be expressed using carefully selected crocodiles?
This is because this gradation is a natural color unique to individual crocodiles.

A technology that transforms the color of an individual into overwhelming beauty.
The center is more pure white.
The outside is a light brown or gray color.

This technique is a specialty of Fujitoyo Kogyo, a world-class tanner.
It is rare to see such a transparent gradation.

There are only about 20 tanneries in the world that have crocodile tanning technology. There are 6 companies in Japan. When you compare it to the tens of thousands of cowhide tanners around the world, you can see how rare it is.
The reason why there are so few crocodile tanners around the world.
Either way, it takes time and effort.

The number of transactions per year is limited for animal protection reasons, and the farming process itself takes many years, but there are major differences in the tanning process.
It takes several weeks to get the hard scales that cover the body ready for processing, and it takes three months to complete the entire process for one crocodile, even if the work is done non-stop.
It's a daunting process that involves checking and fine-tuning various conditions such as temperature, humidity, and the condition of the hide on a daily basis.
This is the highest quality leather produced by the tanner's overwhelming knowledge and the passion of the craftsmen.

The tanning process takes a long time and is finished using skilled techniques.
The original beautiful expression of the crocodile stands out like a mountain range.
The Himalaya selected by the Brooklyn Museum has been treated with a UV-resistant and dust-proof surface treatment to prevent yellowing due to use, so you can enjoy this look for a long time.

Crocodile tanning, which is already considered difficult, must be done carefully and delicately, so the thorough quality control that only a very limited number of craftsmen are allowed to do increases its value.

Premium crocodile that continues to be sought after by celebrities around the world.

HOW TO CARE

We recommend Coronil 1909 Supreme Cream Deluxe.
First, remove invisible dust and dirt by brushing, then apply a small amount of cream onto a soft cloth and apply it evenly to the leather product. After application, brush to remove excess cream and add shine. To finish, wipe dry with leather gloves. At this time, please be careful not to wipe too hard as this may strip the oil from the leather.
The frequency of maintenance depends on the condition, but please do it once a year.
