We wanted to keep that rough memory that a biker jacket has but with a new level of smoothness, deepness in colour and suppleness in leather. In the end, our aim was to create a look that is sophisticated and luxurious.
We worked with wax and heat to polish the finish of this leather, and because it has a little memory, it keeps that lusty shine. The shine in combination with a natural look is what we thought was very important, which is why we created this series in several versions. Thanks to the wax and stone polishing we used, the grain is closed which makes for a smooth polished surface that allows for a deep tone in colour. In the end, our aim was to create a look that is sophisticated and luxurious.
