From hide to finished piece
Every wallet and bag at 3C Tăng Bạt Hổ passes through a craftsperson's hands, from the raw hide to the finished piece. No rush, no mass production.
1. Cutting the pattern
The pattern is laid on the hide, traced and cut. Every piece is cut by hand, following the grain of the leather.
2. Punching
Evenly spaced holes are punched along the seam line. Whether the stitching runs straight is decided at this step.
3. Hand-stitching with waxed thread
Each stitch is sewn with waxed thread, two needles crossing in opposite directions, so even if one stitch breaks the seam will not come undone.
4. Finishing the edges
Edges are sanded, dyed and burnished until smooth, with no fraying.

Choosing the leather
Genuine cowhide, each hide suited to a certain kind of piece: pebbled leather for wallets that resist scratches, waxed leather for bags and backpacks that deepen in colour with use. Made-to-order customers can pick their leather colour right at the shelf.
