Based on the previous model “7QS-H,” which debuted in 2017, this new series has undergone a natural evolution.
[“7QS-R” Is Short for “Seven Qualities Shrink - Recycle”]The name “Seven Qualities” embodies GANZO’s spirit of pursuing excellence across all seven processes—material selection, cutting, skiving, sewing, edge folding, burnishing, and finishing.
While inheriting the same tanning recipe as before, the main body material has been switched to sustainably sourced domestic raw hides compatible with circular (recycling) agriculture in collaboration with the livestock industry.

This combination by our experienced artisans allows you to enjoy the contrast in the materials that brings out Cordovan’s beautiful luster.
