Introducing LEATHERS by Kei Arabuna:
Behind this unique Japanese studio is a man of many talents, Kei Arabuna. Abstract art, music, samurai inspired accessories... you name it. Stimulated by his motorcycle journeys and using traditional and natural techniques, Kei handcrafts one-of-a-kind accessories, aiming to make you understand his explorations of the world.
Why we love LEATHERS by Kei Arabuna:
Based in a small village near the Sea of Japan, Kei is committed to keeping Japanese traditions alive by making his leather accessories using the same techniques used for samurai armor, a laborious process that involves up to seven weeks of tanning and the application of a tough lacquer. These durable, minimalistic accessories age beautifully, and inspire us to stop, breathe and enjoy.
