GOLDREAM KYOTO
Products
Goldream uses authentic gold leaf and leather, handled by Kyoto's traditional gold leaf stamp artisans.
As part of their qualifications, our artisans have received honors such as prefectural prizes for their craftsmanship, and more. They have worked on famous Buddhist temples from all over the country, and are part of a new initiative to link artisans together. Their high craftsmanship has been highly praised all over the country, and their work has even been shown on mass media overseas. GOLDREAM was born from the desire to allow as many people as possible enjoy the pleasures of gold leaf items, and to make traditional products in order to keep this legacy alive. Our artisans have a high level of skill and passion for their work, and love to challenge themselves with new projects.
Stylishly made from high-quality leather and gold leaf.
The Kyoto beaten gold workshop "Goldream" is a studio specialized in gold leaf stamping. "Gold leaf stamping" is a technique renowned for its use in Kyoto-style Buddhist altars and Kyoto-style Buddhist ritual implements. We use this method to stamp gold onto real leather, thus honoring one of its special traits: namely, its elegant representation of Kyoto. The name GOLDREAM is composed of the words GOLD + DREAM, therefore referring to a "Gold Leaf Dream." At the moment, our gold leaf dreams of being able to get closer to you all by adding its special touch to modern-day products.
This is our brand's philosophy.
We handle gold leaf which is one ten-thousandths millimeters of a fraction thin, with abundant care so as to keep it aligned. This traditional technique was born from Kyoto, and we are now applying it onto leather. We take note of the weather while we work, and depending on it we change subtle aspects of the process as the days go by. We have been bold enough to apply this artisan craft onto fashion items. Gold leaf is noticeably brighter than all other traditional artisan materials, and elegantly expresses the soul of Kyoto, with its glittering but still subtle beauty. We manufacture each product one by one, carefully, and we hope they will be enjoyed by a great number of people who love gold leaf.
DAYBREAK is gold leaf which feels better the more you use it.
Hold it up to the sun beams, and see how it glitters in many colors. This moment of our days, what we call "daybreak", was the inspiration behind this design. Kyoto's artisans have grown to love the color and brilliance of gold leaf's hues, and this golden tone has since become representative of Kyoto's calm atmosphere. Its polished design is delicately feminine, and its gentle shine comes from the highest quality gold leaf, produced in Japan. We recommend it for special, lush environments, or even as a part of your daily life. It comes in a wide array of color variation, which allows you to use it however you like. The more you use it, the more the gold leaf and the leather meld together, and there are no two items like these in the world, so yours will be entirely unique.
