One‑of‑One Handmade — the piece in your hands will never exist twice
Crafted by Kyoto artist Kaede, exclusive to Singular Edition
Value Held Firm — never discounted, destined to grow rarer with time
Kaede’s workshop opens onto a moss garden where tiny grass snakes shed their skins each spring. One dawn she found a cast-off coil shimmering opal green in the dew and wondered: could leather hold that same living light?
In Japanese myth the serpent is no mere menace. A white snake is cherished as Benzaiten’s messenger, bringing art, music, and prosperity; the eight-headed Yamata no Orochi—once tamed—becomes a guardian of rivers and harvest. Both legends speak of renewal, wealth, and protective strength: a skin shed, a power reborn.
To weave that symbolism into a leather snake ring, Kaede split full-grain hide to paper thinness and infused it with crushed pearl and mica. Under angled light the scales flare from moon-white to aurora green, or from storm-black to midnight emerald, depending on the dye bath. The strip is steamed, spiral-wrapped around a silver mandrel, and cured for three nights so the coil remembers its curve. Edges are hand-painted in matching enamel, then slicked until the ring feels as seamless as real snakeskin.
Slip Serpent Whisper onto your finger and the coil seems to breathe with you—lighter than a feather, yet carrying the Japanese serpent’s promise of fortune and continual rebirth. Only two colourways exist, and no scale pattern repeats, making each ring a singular shard of Kaede’s obsidian garden.

About Singular Edition × Kaede
Kaede is a Kyoto leather savant who works with nothing but her own hands and an excess of time. Her medium is tō-gawa—a near-lost discipline demanding monastic patience: hides submerged, kneaded, then left to hibernate under moonlit air until they blush with the depth of 12th-century lacquer. The cruelty of the craft, she notes with a half-smile, is that even identical motions can never yield identical results: “This isn’t production; it’s an awakening.”
For this pop-up she has shaped a handful of one-of-one pieces, each skived, burnished, and coaxed to breathe on its own. Kaede has never pledged herself to any brand, yet she hints that if enough collectors truly “read the language of leather,” she may break that rule. This release is therefore more than a flash sale—it is a silent audition, and everyone who handles her work becomes part of the verdict.
We cannot promise what you will receive—only what you will never receive: a second piece exactly the same.
