【PATHLOW】SOAK IN WATER NAVEL 25 / BLACK

BRAND & PRODUCT

SOAK IN WATER is a belt specialist based in Kobe. Since its establishment in 2012, they have continued to craft belts by hand, one piece at a time.

The brand's origin lies in an encounter with antique British horse tack. The leather and brass fittings, worn in over many years, possessed a unique beauty and presence not found in new items.

"What kind of object grows in character and becomes something cherished the longer it is used?"

Guided by this question, SOAK IN WATER utilizes vegetable-tanned leather made using traditional methods and brass parts.
Precisely because these materials are not suited for mass production, they develop a rich, individual patina that varies depending on the user and the environment.

To maximize the appeal of the materials, they have developed their own unique manufacturing methods, incorporating hand-craftsmanship into every detail, such as hand-stitching and the process of hand-twisting their own thread.

As you use it, the character deepens, and it becomes a familiar part of yourself.

SOAK IN WATER continues to offer products that grow with time.

This belt is inspired by the "NAVEL," where the buckle and leather are separated.

The leather used is a thick, high-quality vegetable-tanned leather from Italy.

Because the leather is vegetable-tanned, each piece has a slightly different expression and color variation, which are individual characteristics and part of the leather's natural charm.
