The material is "white tanned leather" of reliable quality backed by Hyogo's tradition and craftsmen's "tanning" techniques, which have developed against a background of abundant water resources.
The hides are "tanned" to become leather, which is then made into a pure leather as a material. The "white tanned leather" used for Cohana's drawstring is a human- and eco-friendly leather made without using chemicals. Only vegetable tannin extracted from plants and natural materials are used in this process. Leather carefully tanned in this natural way becomes fine-textured and beautiful white leather, and can be dyed to a beautiful color. The leather is a little stiff at first, but it will become softer with use.
Vibrantly colored and easy to carry around, this elegant leather pouch can be used for sewing notions and accessories or other small personal items. The shape of this purse resembles a plump of flower bud. When you loosen the wooden button and the string, it spreads out like a blooming flower. The unfolded pouch can also function as a tray just as it is, very convenient when you want to do a bit of needlework.

Handling Precautions
The pouch is just gorgeous, subtle slightly dusky pink. High quality leather that will soften with use and is beautifully made. I’ve ordered the sharpener (pouch sits next to it on my side table looking fabulous )and about 15 different sewing items from pins to the round box with embroidered lid and dressmaking scissors over the last month. I can’t praise these items enough- the designs are just fabulous and the craftsmanship exquisite. They are all a joy to work with and to look at. Although a higher price than usual, I think they are all extremely good value. The packaging is adorable too, and the company is helping to keep these traditional crafts alive. Very well done Cohana!!
