Edo-Ya Brushes for Leather Soul “Kawa Dama” (LSW)

In this day of mass production and automation, when a company perseveres in tradition and quality, it truly is a breath of fresh air.

Founded in 1718 during Japan’s Edo Period, Edo-Ya started as a hand made paint brush manufacturer in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. Almost 300 years later, Edo-Ya continues to methodically produce 100% hand made brushes to a civilization dependent on efficiency and mass production.

There are no machines in their workshop, only weathered hands with years of experience. Each brush is hand planted and hand cut with precision, calculating the length and amount of bristles, the same way it was done decades ago. It is this attention to detail and quality that maintains value, even when cheap alternatives are abundant.

We are proud to present to you, with our “Kawa Dama,” Edo-Ya shoe brushes for Leather Soul.

John Lobb – Philip II in Parisian Brown Misty (LSW)

For a change of pace we’ve decided to offer the Philip II in a color not often seen. Parisian brown misty calf is a wonderful shade of mid brown to complement your Spring/Summer wardrobe but looks equally nice jazzing up darker colors such as navy.
