MORPHO leather accessory
Kiso Hirasawa, Nagano Prefecture, is home to skilled lacquer artisans who meticulously handcraft every piece of “jaCHRO leather” using pure natural lacquer.
Applying pure lacquer to vegetable-tanned leather brings out its unique hues, textures, and deep gradations inherent to lacquer. Enjoy the evolving beauty of both materials as they mature over time.
*This technique was originally developed by the jaCHRO leather artisans themselves—it isn’t something that just any lacquer craftsman can replicate, and its processing method is a closely guarded trade secret.
*Because each item is hand-painted individually, achieving a consistent color across all products is challenging. As the colors naturally evolve, each piece acquires its own unique character.
Established MORPHO in 1995.
Morpho is a butterfly that lives in the rainforests of Central and South America and is considered one of the most beautiful butterflies in the world. The Cypris butterfly is one of the most beautiful Morpho butterflies with its bright blue wings. It is a butterfly that stands alone in the natural world and reaches the pinnacle of beauty.
The reason we linked "Morpho" to our company name and "Cypris" to our company brand is because our company's basic philosophy is to "make products with intrinsic value that you can love for a lifetime." To constantly enhance our sense of beauty as creators, aim for the pinnacle of manufacturing, and continue to shine forever, just like the beauty of the Morpho butterfly, in various life scenes.
The "Department Store Buyers' Award", organized by Senken Shimbun, is given to brands highly recommended by department store buyers. CYPRIS has won this award consecutively from 2003 to 2019 and again from 2022 to 2023, totaling 19 times.
