MEMO #001: ESKANDUR's way - Unveiling the Chemical-Free double turned edges technique

In the world of luxury leather goods, Eskandur stands as a beacon of excellence. Each meticulously crafted piece is a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to quality, aesthetics, and time-honored techniques. From our Eskandur Leather Garment Bag to our range of Luxury Leather Aprons, every item is a work of art, imbued with the passion and expertise of the artisans who bring them to life.

At the heart of Eskandur's craftsmanship lies the Chemical-Free double turned edges technique, a pivotal step that elevates our creations to a whole new level. It is during this phase that the magic unfolds, where the union of technique, precision, and skill breathe life into the supple hides.

Eskandur's decision to prioritize meticulous stitching and layered construction is a deliberate choice to maintain the integrity and longevity of our leather goods. It is a testament to our philosophy of true luxury, where sustainability and craftsmanship reign supreme. While shortcuts may yield short-term gains for others, painting the edges, no matter if it will deteriorate eventually revealing unsightly radial cracks, Eskandur remains resolute in our pursuit of excellence.

Preserving Integrity: The Reinforcement of Leather Layers

The journey begins with the careful selection of premium full-grain leather hides. These hides, chosen for their exceptional quality and natural beauty, serve as the foundation for Eskandur's masterpieces. Through a meticulous process of dividing the hides, they are transformed into thin strips, measuring a mere 1/32" in thickness. This precise reduction is essential to achieve the desired flexibility and drape of the leather.

The next stage involves the intricate folding of the leather straps. Each strap is deftly folded over to the center on both sides, ensuring a perfect alignment. This step requires not only technical skill but also an understanding of the leather's properties. The artisans at Eskandur possess an innate sense of the material, coaxing it into graceful folds that enhance both its strength and aesthetic appeal.

Within these folded straps lies a hidden secret – a reinforcement carefully positioned to enhance durability. This reinforcement, expertly aligned along the length of the straps, adds strength without compromising the suppleness of the leather. It is a testament to Eskandur's dedication to creating products that not only exude elegance but also withstand the test of time.

Eskandur technique, Embodying True Luxury: The Beauty of Meticulous Stitching

With the straps prepared, the artisans embark on the most challenging aspect of the stitching process. Stitching through multiple layers of leather requires a level of expertise that can only be acquired through years of practice. For the assembly of DEF01 and DEF02 luxury leather aprons, up to 12 layers of leather are meticulously stitched together. This is where the true craftsmanship shines, as each stitch is precisely placed to ensure a secure and flawless bond.

The stitching process is not merely a technical endeavor; it is an art form. It demands an acute understanding of the leather's properties, an unwavering attention to detail, and an intuitive sense of balance. Every stitch is a deliberate act, carefully executed to create a harmonious interplay of form and function.

To achieve such perfection, Eskandur relies on the expertise of their leathercraft masters. These seasoned artisans possess an intimate knowledge of the material, acquired through years of working with leather. They possess an innate sense of its nuances, enabling them to navigate the challenges inherent in stitching multiple layers. Their skilled hands and discerning eyes ensure that each stitch is flawlessly executed, culminating in a symphony of craftsmanship.

The stakes are high during the stitching process. A single mistake, an errant stitch, can have grave consequences. The integrity of the entire luxury leather apron hangs in the balance. Eskandur's artisans understand this all too well, as they pour their heart and soul into each creation. It is this unwavering commitment to excellence that drives them to deliver nothing short of perfection.

The result of this laborious and intricate stitching process is nothing short of extraordinary. Every Eskandur product, be it the Leather Garment Bag or the Luxury Leather Aprons, showcases a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality. The carefully stitched layers not only provide strength and durability but also contribute to the overall visual appeal of the finished piece.

The Chemical-Free double turned edges technique is not merely a mechanical task but an embodiment of the brand's core values – dedication, precision, and artistry. Each stitch is a testament to the brand's commitment to craftsmanship, elevating their products to the realm of wearable art. It is a celebration of tradition, where time-honored techniques intertwine with modern sensibilities, resulting in masterpieces that transcend fleeting trends.

Origin of Leather

Mexican families are the unsung heroes of a lucrative cattle-raising industry, with ranches scattered from north to south throughout the Republic. Their hard work and dedication enable employment for hundreds of surrounding communities - creating an important economic lifeline in areas where ranching is often their only source of income.

The intricate, delicate process behind cattle breeding is essential for supplying food to the industry and its leathery by-product that's carefully treated using tanning processes – an integral step in preserving nature’s bounty. Despite being rooted in tradition from centuries ago, this activity continues to provide jobs throughout north Republica Mexicana as it remains one of its major economic sources till today.
