【PATHLOW】SOAK IN WATER NAVEL 25 / NATURAL

BRAND & PRODUCT

SOAK IN WATER is a belt specialist based in Kobe. Since its establishment in 2012, the brand has been crafting belts by hand, one piece at a time.

The origins of the brand lie in an encounter with antique British horse tack. The leather and brass hardware, worn by years of use, possessed a unique beauty and presence not found in brand-new items.

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

Guided by this question, SOAK IN WATER utilizes vegetable-tanned leather made using traditional methods and custom brass parts. Because these materials are not suited for mass production, they develop rich, unique patinas that vary depending on the user and their environment.

To maximize the appeal of these materials, the brand has developed original techniques, incorporating handcraftsmanship into every detail, including hand-stitching and hand-twisting the thread.

As you use it, the belt deepens in character, eventually feeling like a natural extension of yourself.

SOAK IN WATER continues to offer products that grow alongside you over time.

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

It is crafted from thick, high-quality Italian vegetable-tanned leather.

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