The Determination of the Creator

I grew up in the nature of Nagano City, and I was the type of person who didn't want to lose in manufacturing more than anyone else.

I decided to become a furniture carpenter, and at the same time, I came across a large motorcycle and leather craft.

As I taught myself how to make leather goods, I began to think, "I want to live on this path."

Such thoughts were delivered, and I was invited by a local apparel company to join the company. At first, I was in charge of the leather department, which was only a leather class and did not function very well, by myself, and sales rose to the top among manufacturers, and I became relied on as a brand.

afterwards

After 12 years with the company, I left the company due to differences in the direction of the brand, but the transition from craftsman to manager was a more difficult and difficult road than I thought.

There was a time when I couldn't even buy Ni's coffee properly, and I suffered.

Now we have a lot of OEMs and have been saved by several staff.

We are particular about materials, thoroughly pursue ease of use, and aim to create products that do not cause stress even after many years of use, but this is also a sign of respect and inheritance from the previous president of an apparel company who said, "We are particular about what you can't see."

We will continue to make Gruber Leather while thinking about what kind of happy expression the customer will have when he or she touches the commitment of the work.

What are we doing?

Activities completed in the prefecture using game leather (deer leather) exterminated in Nagano Prefecture

The amount of damage caused by birds and beasts nationwide reaches 16 billion yen per year, and as many as 600,000 deer are exterminated. Among them, about 20% is used as food, and most of them cannot be used as leather. Nagano Prefecture has the highest amount of damage to birds and beasts in Honshu, and thanks to the activities of hunting associations, it is being used for food and leather. In addition, there is a leather tanner in Iida City in Nanshin, and we have launched the "Shinshu Ethical Project" so that we can continue the activities of completing the activities of leather exterminated in the prefecture from materials to products in Nagano Prefecture as an industry, and we aim to create synergies by partnering with each company.

Japan's first challenge!!

・Apricot-dyed leather

We turned to traditional crafts to bring more added value and synergy to this high-quality game leather.

One of them is Japan's first apricot-dyed deer leather (apricot-dyed leather)

Chikuma City has the second largest apricot harvest in Japan and is also famous locally as a specialty of Chikuma City. There is Mr. Mentsune Kubota of the Sarashina Flower Weaving Workshop, who is in love with the beauty of the apricot and is doing apricot-dyed paintings.

Apricot dyeing is made from apricot trees as a dye, and it is changed to a floral pattern by tie-dyeing using apricot seeds.

"From Trees to Seeds and Flowers" is a work with the hope that flowers will bloom in Chikuma City.

・ Ai's first leather

And the other work is indigo-dyed deer leather (Aihatsu leather).

Founded in Meiji 44, Hama dyeing workshop. In the town of Aihatsu in Matsumoto City, there were more than 100 indigo dyeing shops at the time, and Kanji Hama, the third generation, is one of the inheritors of the technology of that time.

There are only a few workshops in Japan that dye kimonos with indigo dyeing, and even kata dyeing, which is considered to be the most difficult of indigo dyeing, is dyed in one piece.

This rare technology has been incorporated into deer leather as "Aihatsu Leather"

As far as we can tell, this is the first time in Japan that we dye this indigo dyeing pot dyeing with game deer leather!

In Nagano Prefecture, this sustainable game leather continues to be featured in the media and is a hot topic.

Commitment to the product

Game Leather

Deer leather is also called leather cashmere and is soft and light, and although it is scarred because it is a wild deer, it can convey its taste as a living proof.

The tannery in Iida City (Mersen Co., Ltd.) is good at finishing sofas, etc., so its durability and wear strength are unrivaled quality.

Standard Products

Since its founding, Gruber Leather has been mainly manufacturing using various leathers such as cowhide, horse leather, cordovan, and crocodile in pursuit of commitment, and there are many original sewing techniques and gimmicks. From 2021, Shinshu deer leather has been made, and the further challenge of Gruber leather has begun, but the original commitment is to have this standard product.

Who are supporting us?

There is a wide range of customers who use it, ranging in age from Arasar to Arakan, and genders are also genderless. In particular, the deer leather of the game leather has received a response from customers in Arakan, who are heavy and have moved away from leather due to its lightness. Standard products can be used in a wide range of fashion, from biker fashion to casual fashion. Since it is also a brand centered on leather workshops, we can also accept OEM consultations. There are many retailers who do business, and our in-house sales are mainly department store events.
