Black
A true quality doesn't simply come from excellence in technology. It consists in crafting carefully and seeking the best over and over again. That's what's absolutely important.
CORDOVAN — Dyeing section
GANZO's cordovan is tanned and finished using a water-dyeing process called aniline dyeing. GANZO's cordovan is finished and dyed by the leather processing company LEDER OGAWA, where their unique water-dyeing method was born from the research of their founder who became fascinated by the dyeing of cordovan when he was a teenager.
CORDOVAN—Tannage’s section
Cordovan is a dense, 1mm thick equine leather made from the hindquarters of a horsehide. The amount of cordovan that can be derived from a horse is limited, making it a rare and precious item.
LEATHER
GANZO makes frequent use of Nume leather because the stitching becomes clearly evident after the finishing of the notches and also because of the leather’s excellent durability.
