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.
Crafted entirely from bridle leather in a unified tone, this piece embodies refined simplicity. Inside, the soft natural leather lining in a luminous yellow creates an elegant contrast against the deep, dark hues of the exterior.
Cordovan is a rare and valuable horse leather and is considered to be the most durable. GANZO’s Cordovan series combines Cordovan that has been dyed in a time consuming process and went through an oil-glazed finish with soft cowhide nume leather for the inside.
This combination by our experienced artisans allows you to enjoy the contrast in the materials that brings out Cordovan’s beautiful luster.
