Things you should know when choosing a scissor case!

Q. It's a genuine leather scissor case, but powdery stuff keeps coming out. Is it synthetic leather?

I cannot say for certain without seeing the actual product,
but this phenomenon can happen even with genuine leather.

The cause of the powdery substance is that "the surface of the leather has not been properly treated."

Recently, even expensive products sometimes emphasize a "natural feel" by intentionally leaving the surface untreated.

While they may feel soft and pleasant to the touch at first glance, a drawback is that fiber scraps fall off every time they are used.

For hygiene and usability, "surface treatment" is essential

Especially for tools like scissor cases that are used in daily salon work, attention must be paid to hygiene.

That's why at Blink Leather Works, we carefully treat (seal) the surface of the leather on all our products.

The carefully polished surface is smooth, and customers have praised how easy and pleasant it is to insert and remove scissors.

Even a small amount of processing can make a big difference in usability.

"Edge finishing" is also important

And just as important as surface treatment is "edge finishing."

Edge finishing refers to the finishing of the cut edges.
This also greatly affects the quality of the product, so we plan to introduce it in detail in a separate article.

At Blink Leather Works, we strive for meticulous craftsmanship, even in these less visible areas.
