We handle products that are manufactured using processes that are as environmentally friendly as possible. We have a wide range of products that are conscious of sustainability, eco-friendliness, and recycling, such as BIO vegan leather made from upcycled Japanese nature, Silken dyed with a focus on water conservation, and ATESA made from recycled polyester.
Synthetic leather, also known as faux leather, is a man-made material designed to mimic the look and feel of real leather without the use of animal products. It is durable, versatile and easy to maintain. We stock BIO vegan leather.
Vinymo MBT is a high-quality industrial leather sewing thread that is known for its strength, durability, and smooth finish, and is highly regarded not only in Japan but also around the world. The thread is bonded at the center to prevent fraying, so it does not clog sewing machines due to the coating peeling off, which is a drawback of traditional resin-coated bonded threads. It is also ideal for hand-sewn leatherwork projects.
Vinymo MBT expresses the thread diameter as No. 00, No. 0, No. 1, No. 5, No. 8, and No. 20. "No." means yarn count and is a unit of measurement for the thickness of the thread in spinning. It is also called "Bante" in Japanese. The lower No., the thicker the thread diameter.
No. 00: 1.0 mm / 0.04 in
No. 0: 0.7 mm / 0.028 in
No. 1: 0.6 mm / 0.024 in
No. 5: 0.5 mm / 0.02 in
No. 8: 0.4 mm / 0.016 in
No. 20: 0.3 mm / 0.012 in
Please note that the thickness is an approximate guide only.
