the culatta leather phone holder, has been cut from a butter soft full grain 2mm vegetable tanned, washed and tumbled reverse horse culatta leather, with a blood red dye treatment.
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 from a triple piece pattern the phone case features a single main compartment to accommodate your smart phone, with a single slip pocket to the rear to hold your ID and bank 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. hand forged .925 sterling silver geometric forms hold the strap in place at the rear which is mirrored by the .925 sterling silver buckle closure and staple accent detail to the front. all the silver elements have been hand cut, hammered and moulded by hand in the studio, with a slow oxidised finish implemented over a 10hr period and then sanded to highlight the details.
each piece comes in a hand made leather package.
custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
