Horse Hair II and Ultrasuede®

The merge of style and functionality

Many PLOTTER analog tools are created to combine the sense of style with functionality. The highlight of contrasting materials: PLOTTER’s original Horse Hair II leather and Ultrasuede®, creates unique but fashionable carrying tools for creators. There is attention to detail in terms of the material, simple structure, and a sense of style to its functionality.

Ultrasuede® material as a base

We sourced special material from TORAY corporation based in Tokyo – “innovation by chemistry” is their motto. Ultrasuede® mimics the charming characteristics and texture of suede leather but is made with a combination of synthetic and plant-derived recycled materials. It features excellent durability, moderate breathability, and moisture permeability, and is lightweight compared to real suede. The lightweight material didn’t feel stuffy to the touch.

Horse Hair II leather accents

Horse Hair II leather is a revived series from 2017, featuring a hand-scratched expression that mimics horsehair on vegetable-tanned leather, processed in Himeji. Unlike uniform embossing, each horsehair mark shows a different expression, and the texture is reminiscent of the scratch process of the popular “Pueblo” series. If you look closely at the leather, it has a velvety expression. The contrast of Horse Hair II’s raised leather texture with smooth Ultrasuede® is the charm of this combination.
