Among crocodiles, Nile crocodile is highly praised all over the world for its well-balanced scale pattern and high-quality leather.
Due to the small size of each animal, the number of items that can be taken is extremely small.
When it comes to long wallets, only one item can be made from one crocodile, and its beauty will take your breath away.
The highly rare Nile crocodile is dyed using Japan's unique indigo dyeing technique, resulting in an indigo-dyed crocodile that is dyed in a blue that will draw you in.
Each spot (scale pattern) has its own expression, and its shadows are like works of art.
The texture created through years of trial and error and the culmination of outstanding Japanese technology has captivated many leather lovers.

There are only about 20 tanneries in the world that have crocodile tanning technology. There are 6 companies in Japan. If you compare it with 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.
Dyeing is a process that requires a high level of skill, with no tolerance for even the slightest deviation, as the dyeing is done from a completely dry state after tanning. This indigo-dyed crocodile was especially difficult because it is a natural dye. We check the temperature, humidity, and various climate conditions on a daily basis and fine-tune the dye formulation.
This is the highest quality leather produced by the tanner's overwhelming knowledge and the passion of the craftsmen.
Indigo-dyed crocodile has beautiful uneven patterns that emerge through a long tanning process and a finishing process that requires skill. The depth of the color is created, and the difference in aging of each unevenness gives the color depth.
In addition to the "rarity of the material," whose value increases year by year, the "advanced dyeing technology" of indigo dyeing does not tolerate even a few seconds of error. Crocodile dyeing, which is already considered difficult, must be expressed using more advanced dyeing methods, and the thorough quality control that only a limited number of craftsmen are allowed to carry out increases its value.
The reality is that mass production is not possible, and the number of items that can be produced each year is limited.
This is a masterpiece where you can enjoy the high level of Japanese technology while feeling the quality of the material itself.

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.
