Traditionally, the skins of farmed yellowtail were discarded or repurposed as fertilizer. Now, through innovative upcycling, these skins are transformed into high-quality fish leather. This spring, test sales of namino leather will begin, targeting apparel manufacturers in Europe, the U.S., and Japan, where sustainability is a key industry focus.
All of “namino leather”'s raw skins are “KUROSE BURI,” 100% fully-farmed and aquacultured in the rich waters of the Hyuga Sea in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.
Four collections are available, each with different characteristics depending on the tanning and finishing.
