SMOKE

This is REN's original pigskin developed in collaboration with a tannery in Sumida-ku, Tokyo.
The surface is scraped to give it a raised feel and carefully prepared, so-called nubuck, but it is characterized by its firmness and strength. Unlike cloth, each piece of pigskin has a different expression, and the finish is uneven depending on the sensitivity of the craftsman who shaves it. The more one uses this leather, the more one can enjoy the contrast between the long and short hairy parts.
Its smoky shine gives it the name "smoked". Because the surface is scraped, the color tends to transfer easily to clothing. Please be especially careful with white and beige clothes.

As it is used, the surface becomes smoother and shinier. This leather has an appealing character that changes with age.
