[鴕鳥皮] Ostrich Leather
 |
Ostrich leather is exquisite and very exclusive leather, distinguished by its tell-tale pattern of quill follicles or feather sockets. Soft to the touch, the leather is both flexible and durable, making it an ideal working material for the manufacture of most leather goods and certain luxury leather items.
Ostrich leather is one of the toughest, but most pliable skins in the world. Full of natural oils, ostrich leather resists drying, cracking and stiffness. No other leather in the world can compete with the unique quill pattern. This, in itself, makes it one of the most expensive leathers in the world today.
Distinctive and comfortable ostrich leather items show the attributes of establishment, wealth and recognition. Elegant and classic, they have been in fashion for the last fifty years.

鴕鳥皮革具有透氣度高、柔軟、美觀等的等特點,其皮革因油脂含量非常高,具有堅固不易磨損的特質,其表面顆粒是此皮革的一大特色,具有特殊的質感,是在其他動物皮革上找不到的,因產量相較於牛皮稀少,屬於珍貴的皮革。
我們的鴕鳥皮革來源為南非飼養的鴕鳥,主要供應Saddle Finish 表面處理之皮革,鼓染製革,能夠呈現皮革的自然紋路,其表面觸感較為乾、滑順。
依照南非鴕鳥加工組織National Ostrich Processors of South Africa 規範,依鴕鳥皮革表面是否有缺陷、切割精確度、表面完整性之不同分成四個等級,其中又以中央大顆粒區域 ( crown area ) 之完整性為等級區分的重要決定要素,皮革分級是提供買賣雙方對皮革品質的認知標準之指標,尤其對於皮革的裁切價值,等級越上層之皮革,相對缺陷較少,其裁切價值相對增加,因為能夠大片的運用;相對地,等級較低的皮革,可能因缺陷分布的位置較於分散,而僅適合運用在小片裁切之物品。因品質認定或是缺陷的定義因不同的供應商及買家認知差別而有所不同,在此我們提供等級辨識的基本說明
於Crown Area上以十字區分,若其沒有缺陷,或缺現僅位於其四分之一處,為第一等級。缺陷位於其四分之二處,為第二等級,缺陷位於其四分之三處,為第三等級。缺陷位於其四分之四處為,第四等級。皮革之整體外觀,也會影響到等級分類。 [更多細節請參考皮色型錄] |
