  • Hand Sewn

    Hand stitching is stronger and more durable than machine stitching. It also produces a great hand-made aesthetic.

  • Quality Materials

    Goods are made with full grain, veg tanned leather, hand stitched with waxed thread, and 100% recycled PET felt.

  • Custom Engraving

    Custom engraving on leather goods is a great way to add a personal touch and make the product unique whether for yourself or as a gift.

    So very happy with my leather cover. I love that it’s slightly bigger than A5 which allows me to use a A5 flip file in it. Thank you so much. I shall be ordering more.
