Leather Belt with Artisan Craftsmanship Launched

Motherhouse Co., Ltd. (Location: Taito-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Eriko Yamaguchi), whose philosophy is to "create world-class brands from developing countries," has launched its apparel line "ERIKO YAMAGUCHI"'s first-ever leather belt, the 'Bullhide Leather Mesh Belt,' on Friday, March 27, 2026.

The brand's first belt. A distinctive presence pursued by the designer. This belt, making its debut in the ERIKO YAMAGUCHI line, was born from the designer's desire for "a piece that blends into daily life while its handcrafted presence stands out."

The material used is "Bullhide Leather," newly developed for this product. The thick leather is combined with antique-style metal fittings, resulting in a design that adds a moderate sense of weight and rugged accent to any styling.

Leather developed in Bangladesh, where the company's own factory is located. The biggest feature of this belt is the "Bullhide Leather," newly developed for this purpose, boasting an overwhelming thickness of 2.5mm or more. "Bullhide" refers to the hide of a male cattle aged two years or older.

In Bangladesh, raw hides that can secure such thickness are said to account for only about 10-20% of the total, making it a very rare material. The carefully selected raw hides from older male cattle are finished with traditional "tannin tanning" to maximize fiber density.
