Question 1

What does Zhosie make?

Accepted Answer

Zhosie makes leather belts and handbags by hand in Luoyang, China. The collection covers full-grain leather belts and women’s handbags, each piece made by one artisan from cutting to finishing.

Question 2

What kind of leather does Zhosie use?

Accepted Answer

Belts are cut from full-grain, vegetable-tanned hides at 4 mm or thicker, because a belt sits under tension every day and needs dense fibre so the holes do not stretch. Handbags use top-grain and full-grain chrome-tanned leather chosen for drape and low empty weight.

Question 3

Are Zhosie products handmade?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Zhosie piece goes through 47 individual steps and is made by a single artisan, rather than moving along an assembly line.

Question 4

Where is Zhosie located?

Accepted Answer

Zhosie is based in Luolong District, Luoyang, Henan, China.

Question 6

How should I care for a leather belt or handbag?

Accepted Answer

Condition untreated full-grain leather twice a year, in spring and autumn. Wipe finished top-grain leather with a barely damp cloth and condition it once a year. Never dry leather with a hairdryer, heater, or direct sun — rapid drying is what cracks leather, not water itself.
