Getting inspired by how Wes Anderson, the film director of The Darjeeling Limited, using his artificial color palette to get recognizable, I has connected this thought to the cuoio leather which is the key point of the collection. What is the most recognizable color of leather? My answer is that it should be its considered-original color, a vachetta color. Then, I think about the laser cut technique, trying to make designs using this vachetta color be original and innovative in the same way. However, if we over-use this kind of technique, meanwhile we throw away our precious leather material. Kerf-cut, cutting technique mostly using in the interior design is my solution for this problem. Furthurmore, adding the pressed leather technique and wrapping used leather are ways to reduce using the sewing machine and keep the clean surface of the cuoio leather. THINK SHOES. THINK VACHETTA

I got ispired by how artists using vachetta color and cuoio leather in the collection for “Louis Vuitton Nomades Objets”
VACHETTA COLOR
Kerf cut with different patterns is created by laser cut. It creates thin cut line and without creating left materials. It is moveable and breathable if we could apply in leather material.
KERF CUT - LASER TECHNIQUE
The pressed leather, using cuoio leather is an amazing method to have the unique form, without stiches and save the material.
