the open seam leather phone holder, has been cut from a supple full grain 3mm vegetable tanned, washed and tumbled reverse horse culatta leather, with an iron dye treatment that has been brewing in the atelier for 24 months. the solution reacts with the leathers tannins to create an array of blue, black and grey nuances.
vegetable tanned leather is an ancient artisanal process that hinges on the delicate balance between timing and temperature. like a fine aged whiskey time is key, the careful balance of time allows the natural tannins such as tree bark to infuse, yielding rich colours and unparalleled durability. controlled cooling plays a crucial role in achieving that coveted texture and suppleness you come to expect.
crafted with a three piece pattern the phone case features a single main compartment with a full length open seam running through the center and our signature overlocked sides. a single slip pocket to the rear can fit up to 5 cards. each of the stitch holes have been individually spaced and punched by hand, with each stitch meticulously implemented in a tonal 0.65mm hand waxed japanese linen thread without the use of machines.
the compact bag features a fixed 3mm culatta leather strap with a 52cm drop, allowing you to wear it round the neck or across the body.
each piece comes in a hand made leather package.
custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
