THE WET MOLDING TECHNIQUE

EXODOS Copenhagen leather accessories are hand stitched from 7oz / 2.7mm premium Italian natural vegetable tanned cowhide.

All pouches and cases are made using the wet molding technique. This meticulous process ensures that each pouch is carefully shaped and molded to perfection, resulting in a unique and well-fitted accessory.

 

 

The process typically starts by wetting the leather thoroughly by submerging it in water. The leather is then carefully shaped, folded, or molded around a wooden pattern by hand.

Once the leather is molded into the desired shape, it is left to dry naturally. As the leather dries, it retains the shape it was molded into, resulting in a customized and well-fitted piece.

After a pouch or case has dried, it is hand-stitched with 1mm waxed nylon thread and hand-dyed ensuring that your it will last you a lifetime - even becoming better with the lapse of time.

Wet molding leather offers several advantages


Firstly, it allows for greater flexibility and manipulation of the leather, enabling us to create the exact dimensions of your choice. Additionally, wet molding can help soften and condition the leather, making it more supple and comfortable to wear and least but most importantly, it creates a pouch or case that won't change shape over time. 

With careful craftsmanship and attention to detail, wet-molded leather pieces can showcase the beauty and versatility of this timeless material.

Wet molding leather requires skill and expertise to achieve the desired results and we are proud to announce that we master this skill to perfection.
