Leather Mesh Bags for Enjoying Life
Mercado Tote" is finished in an atelier in India. Thinly cut buffalo leather is woven by hand one by one using a technique called Ajiro-weaving. This material shows the fine handwork of an atelier in India. This leather mesh bag has a beautiful color shade and fine weaving pattern.
Bags are meant to be worn and carried around, but the appearance of the Mercado Tote when placed in your daily life is also a unique charm of the Mercado Tote. It is a tote bag that is both a pleasure to use and a pleasure to look at. The Mercado Tote is a tote bag that also leads to the enjoyment of daily life.
There are four colors available: vintage tan, black, mixed gray, and bottle green. The coloring is calm and deep.
The material woven without gaps can be used not only in summer but also throughout the year. This mesh bag is suitable for any season.
This leather mesh is made of Asian buffalo leather tanned with "vegetable tannin," a traditional technique using "astringent" extracted from plant bark and leaves, and woven with the Ajiro technique.
Originally cut from a single piece of leather, friction produces shades of color on the cross section of the leather string. This is a change unique to nume leather. Since leather strings of different shades are randomly woven together, the entire mesh fabric has an exquisite gradation. The beautifully woven, tightly woven texture makes the uneven color and luster of the leather string stand out even more.

[ About color migration and color fading]
If worn with denim, indigo-dyed or cotton clothing, the color of the clothing may transfer to the leather due to friction. Also, if the bag gets wet due to rain, sweat, or friction, the color of the leather may transfer to your clothing. Please be careful when matching the bag with bright clothing.
[ Storage Method ]
If not used for a long period of time, store in a well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in a humid place as it may cause mold and leather deterioration.
