Regarding counterfeit and similar products that use "shrink leather"

Regarding similar products that use "shrink leather" that claims to be of the same quality as BONAVENTURA

Currently, there are many products on the Internet, including major sites, such as smartphone cases that use "shrink leather" that claims to be of the same quality as our products.
BONAVENTURA uses only German shrink leather provided by two companies, Perlinger and Weinheimer.

This German shrink leather is made using natural chemicals that take into consideration the burden on the environment, and the leather is slowly shrunk over a long period of time, lasting more than a week. It is also produced in a factory that meets strict EU environmental guidelines for the disposal of wastewater, exhaust, and other waste materials after processing.

Shrink leather manufactured in China and other countries uses harmful chemicals in the manufacturing process in order to mass-produce it cheaply, and there are concerns about residual chemicals.
This type of shrink leather is characterized by a very strong chemical smell.

Malicious imitations and look-alikes are sold on major online retailers such as Amazon and Rakuten, labeling Chinese-made shrink leather as German shrink leather or the shrink leather used by luxury brands, and including numerous comments in the product reviews such as "this is the same leather as BONAVENTURA."

Additionally, imitations and similar products have been identified that are made of embossed leather that resembles shrunk leather, but this leather has no elasticity and a different texture to our products.

We are deeply concerned about the widespread advertising of such malicious counterfeits and similar products, and would like to warn everyone not to make purchases based on incorrect information.
