Leather is a natural material.
What we get is
It's just a byproduct.

They were not bred just to make leather,
The benefits we receive from meat and dairy products that turn into energy for people.

Things we spend our days with and touch our skin.

That's why,
Animal Welfare,
supply chain traceability, etc.
We need transparency at each point.

Increase transparency in everything,
Creating things that can be used for a longer time.

Coexisting with limited resources,
Passing the baton to the next generation.

This is our responsibility as a company and as a creature living on earth.

OUR SELECTION LEATHER
3 Types

 

1. Calf imported from Europe

2. Daily steer imported from North America

3. Wagyu leather

A globally rare and high quality calf.
In Europe, calf is supplied as a by-product from cultures such as French cuisine, and many big brands choose it due to its high quality.
As a result, market requests from all over the world are flooding in, making leather difficult to obtain. However, BROOKLYN MUSEUM is able to secure stable supplies through the relationships it has cultivated over 40 years, and the community it has built with its suppliers is also a major asset.

A dairy steer is a male dairy cow.
Female dairy cows are raised for milk, while males are raised for meat. Due to advances in artificial insemination technology, castrated males are characterized by a very docile personality and fewer blemishes.

The difference between North American and Japanese hides is the fiber quality.
In North America, the fibers are soft and supple because they spend time in the vast land and eat grains.
In Japan, they are carefully grown on limited land and fed on grass, resulting in a firm, thin, and delicate finish.

Creating things that can be passed down to the next generation.

Aiming for a "richer" expression that we draw.

Selection of raw hide production areas
quality control
Carefully selected dyeing method
