Aging Gracefully with INDEN

Crafted to Last. Designed to Evolve. A Beauty That Deepens with Time.
At INDEN, we believe that true beauty reveals itself slowly.
Like a wellworn leather accessory or a cherished object that becomes part of daily life,
your INDEN piece grows more personal and expressive the longer you carry it.
Made from natural Japanese deerskin and handlacquered with traditional urushi, each item is more than a product — it is a living material that changes together with you.

The Glow of Urushi: Patterns that Grow More Radiant

The lacquer used in INDEN has a unique characteristic: its color and shine become richer with time, exposure to air, and the warmth of your hands.

Patterns that begin subtle will gradually gain depth and luster, developing a quiet, elegant glow.

With long use, urushi may form small cracks or chips.

Rather than flaws, these are signs of life — expressions of wabisabi, the Japanese appreciation of natural change and imperfection.

Note: All INDEN lacquer is dried in a controlled environment, making the risk of irritation extremely low. In rare cases, those with sensitivities should discontinue use and consult a physician.

The Story of Deerskin: A Leather that Learns from You

INDEN uses natural Japanese deerskin, valued for its softness and flexibility.

To preserve its natural character, we do not apply heavy surface treatments or artificial coatings.

Over time:

  • The leather softens and molds to your touch
  • Light scratches and color variations may appear
  • Shades may deepen or gently fade with sunlight

These are not defects — they are traces of life.

Every mark becomes part of your story, making your piece truly oneofakind.
Because the leather is untreated, color transfer or water spotting may occur.
Please avoid excessive moisture and long exposure to direct sunlight.

Care Tips: Simple Ways to Keep Your INDEN Beautiful

  • If the item gets wet, gently pat dry and let it air dry in the shade
  • Do not rub or use chemical cleaners, wax, or benzine
  • Avoid scratching or bending with force
  • Store away from heat, humidity, and direct sun

Each item includes a care card (“shiori”).

Please keep it for reference.

More Than an Accessory — A Companion

Your INDEN piece is meant to be used, enjoyed, and carried through life.
As time passes, it becomes softer, smoother, and more radiant — shaped by your touch and your journey.

Let it change.
Let it grow with you.
Every transformation is a sign of time well lived — and a beauty that belongs only to you.
