For those who are unfortunate enough to have to wear eyeglass, one can find enjoyment in wearing different kind of eyewear.
One of my favourite is the Made in Japan, 100% handmade.

Cordovan leather wallet : Edisonkun made by Shinki-kikaku co
Cordovan leather wallet :Edisonkun made by Shinki-kikaku co
I must have visited the shop more then 10 times pondering whether I should be getting this special wallet using Shell cordovan, a type of leather often used in shoemaking, in wallets, belts, card holders and other small garments. It Is an equine leather made from the flat shell just below the hide on the butt of the horse.
My quest for Japanes made cowboy wallet continues with this. The wallet was made in Japan as Japan is also well known as a reputed producer of the high quality leather. The best horse hides from Europe, specially from France, are imported to just a few of the finest tanneries in Japan, Shinki-Hikaku Co. is one of them. They are based at the south of the country, in the city of Himeji. They select carefully every horse in Europe using high standards and strict regulations. The Japanese craftsmanship is really superb!
This is the final horse leather wallet made for Edisonkun from Japan and I am glad to get it. Initially, I was looking at The Flat head cordovan wallet but they only have black, maroon, and combination colours. My preference is the natural brown cordovan. I saw another unit of brown cordovan at the shop next door with brown shell but the interior of the wallet is not cordovan but cow leather ...my preference is to get one in complete cordovan : )
From the net:
皮革被譽為「皮革中的鑽石」或「皮革之王」，是世界上首屈一指的高級皮革。素材取自馬臀原皮，用以百分之百單寧歷時一個月鞣製而成。CORDOVAN 皮革加工過程繁複，首先在皮革內外兩層進行削剩以萃取最精緻柔細的皮革質地。二次加工時不斷打磨內層，最終將順滑充滿光澤的皮革面作為表層使用。最終 CORDOVAN 皮革水染的部分，則是採用需要花費大量時間和勞力的染蠟工序。剛開始使用時，紋理細緻的皮革光澤呈現安靜沉穩，但隨著使用時間推移，深邃迷離的色澤逐漸深，逐漸閃耀出如寶石般的透明光感，無不讓皮革愛好者們垂涎與著迷。
Inner pockets made with cordovan too..

Handmade sling bag
Thailand is a land with many skillful artisans. While walking around the Talad Rot Fai Train maket, I came across a handmade leather selling handmade bag at very reasonable price. At Baht $4000 (inclusive a leather cream) it is really value for money.
