Design
At kaizer, design takes center stage. We move away from traditional bag design, bring together various art streams from architecture, Product design to fine arts, to create interesting art pieces. Be it fluid forms or rigid structures, functionality is at the very core of every collection. A fresh perspective on design, every time.
Kaizer personally looks into the functionality and production of each every piece, ensuring the end product is not only different and interesting but at the same time functional.
Sustainable Leather – Ethically Sourced
At kaizer we strictly use leather that is only ethically sourced. Most leather comes from the finest quality cow hide and lamb skin. All leather used at kaizer is a byproduct of farming. The finest selection of raw hides is treated to perfection with vegetable tanning-an age-old craft dating as far back as the 6000 BCE is kept alive. Veg-tanning is an organic method relying on natural vegetable tannins from bark (from trees such as oak, chestnut, or mimosa) or other plant tissues.
