About Leather

At 96KURo-design, we reinterpret Japanese traditions with a modern sensibility and value the creation of products that will be passed on to the next generation. We are also conscious of the "coexistence of the environment and aesthetic sense."

Japanese beauty quietly lives in our daily lives.

In order to deliver that essence from the ground up, we do not compromise on our choice of materials.

The leather that our brand uses for our geta sandals is "LWG certified leather" certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), an international environmental protection organization. It is a sustainable leather that meets global standards, minimizing the burden on the environment in every aspect, from water resource usage, chemical management, wastewater treatment, and traceability of the manufacturing process. Choosing materials that are not only beautiful but also something we can be proud of for the future is also part of our aesthetic.

We also support "Thinking Leather Action (TLA)," which widely disseminates the sustainability of the leather and leather product industry. Rooted in tradition, but not afraid of innovation, we value harmony between nature and people. We put this idea into the traditional Japanese footwear called geta, and we bring "space" and "beauty" to every step.

It is not something that is consumed and then finished, but rather something that deepens in texture over time and becomes more comfortable the more you wear it - 96KURo-design's geta sandals add a quiet and certain beauty to the feet of modern people. A pair of sandals that connects to the future.
