VSH01 HIMEJI LEATHER SHOEHORN

A shoehorn crafted from four colors of Himeji leather. The contrast with brass is stunning, allowing you to enjoy its beautiful patina over time.

We've used robust and tactile Himeji leather. Despite the recent decline in the production of thick hides, our collaboration with the renowned HIMEJI LEATHER has allowed us to create such substantial products.

Much like jeans, you can enjoy the natural aging of this product over time, making it a perfect authentic original piece to accompany your denim.

Note: Due to the use of natural Himeji leather, individual variations in cows and parts of the hide might lead to appearances of streaks, irregularities, or uneven coloring on the belt surface. Each piece has its unique character. Your understanding is appreciated.
