Delife's What does “good quality” mean?
The selection of materials for Delife is very simple.It is ``high quality and environmentally friendly''. "High quality" means vegetable tanned leather that will age (change over time).
This material is said to be 10% of the leather made in the world and is also called eco-leather because it is tanned using plant sap and is environmentally friendly. On the other hand, since 90% of chrome leather is made with chemicals, seawater pollution from wastewater has become a social issue. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable society, we actively use eco-leather, which is environmentally friendly and has excellent aging properties.
Eco leather is a leather that has been carefully tanned with vegetable tannin over a long period of time, with minimal processing to hide scratches and wrinkles in order to retain the original texture of the leather. High quality leather does not necessarily have beautiful uniformity. As a result, even wrinkled areas are used, so each product has its own individuality and becomes even more loved. As time passes, the color changes and becomes more lustrous, blending into your skin and changing to a texture that is unique to you.It gives you a rich expression.
