Buttery soft leather handbags are more than just accessories; they are an extension of who we are. At Sapahn, we believe that the things you carry should be both beautiful and meaningful. Our bags are crafted with care, embodying our core values of ethical craftsmanship and commitment to human rights. So let's dive in! Learn about the qualities that make leather buttery soft, the craftsmanship involved in creating handbags from such exquisite leather, and why it's a such a coveted material for handbags.
What Makes Leather Buttery Soft
Buttery soft leather is characterized by its exceptionally smooth and pliable texture. This is the classic full grain leather we’ve built Sapahn on. This softness is achieved through a combination of high-quality raw materials and expert craftsmanship. Hides are selected for their natural suppleness. The tanning process plays a crucial role, where traditional methods using natural oils and conditioners are employed to enhance the leather's softness and durability. At Sapahn, we take pride in our intentional approach to sourcing and treating leather, ensuring each piece reflects our commitment to quality and care.
The Craftsmanship Behind Buttery Soft Leather
Creating buttery soft leather is an art form that requires a high level of skill and attention to detail. It begins with the careful selection of hides, choosing only those that exhibit the desired level of softness. At Sapahn, our buttery soft raw leather is known for its imperfections, stretch marks, birth marks, scars and more. It makes the hide unique, and one of a kind. Some brands throw out and waste hides that have imperfections; we love showing them off and embracing their uniqueness. Hey, we all have some marks achieved throughout our journey—we shouldn't hide them, but celebrate them.
The hides then undergo a meticulous tanning process, where natural ingredients and time-honored techniques are used to treat the leather. All of our leather is processed and dyed in small batches by a third-generation family-owned and run tannery. The specific dye mixture is a family secret that keeps getting passed down to the next generation. We know it's special as we've tested several other leathers in Thailand and nothing compares to this tannery. Buttery-soft leather is their speciality, their art. This dedication to craftsmanship and respect for craft ensures that the leather not only feels luxurious but also stands the test of time.
