“Botanical Leather" is a 100% plant-derived vegetable dyeing leather. The color of the dyed leather varies depending on the season and the time of the day they work for, and therefore you never get the same pattern or color. By using natural materials, the leather is not only gently dyed, but also its texture and color nicely changes as it is being used.
※The buckle is an easy buckle type that can be replaced. If you already have an Easy Buckle, you can place an order without it. Please note that the buckle size that can be used depends on the strap.

Botanical leather
dyed with plants and trees.
Botanical leather is a 100% plant-derived, plant-dyed leather. The color of the dyed leather varies depending on the season and the length of time that it is dyed, meaning every pattern and color is completely unique. By using natural materials, the leather not only has a gentle dyed finish, but also a texture and color that gradually matures over time.
Stitch-free leather to show the material at its best
The natural feel of the material is further enhanced by its lack of stitching, allowing the soft color and texture of botanical leather to be appreciated in its most natural form.
