"Ocean Leather" effectively repurposes fish skin—material that would otherwise be discarded as waste—into a usable leather product. It is a sustainable material made by vegetable-tanning sea bream skin and finishing it with aniline dye. (*Ocean Leather is a registered trademark of Koyo Freeze Co., Ltd.)
＊ Regarding the scent: Since it is made from fish skin, many people might worry about a fishy odor. However, to eliminate this smell, the oils responsible for the odor are removed during processing. Furthermore, because it is manufactured using techniques similar to those for cowhide, the final product has a scent virtually indistinguishable from that of standard leather goods.
"Ocean Leather" is crafted from beautiful red sea bream skin, characterized by its striking, dynamic scale pattern and translucency. It is a sustainable material made by vegetable-tanning the fish skin and finishing it with aniline dye.
The interior features European shoulder leather tanned by Belgium's only tannery. Finished to highlight the natural *tora* (wrinkle patterns), the leather is characterized by a fine grain and a deep, lustrous sheen. It is a long wallet featuring "organ-style" gussets that expand like the bellows of an accordion.
