Made from single piece of Oak-tanned leather, carefully designed to fold and keep a strong shape to hold your glasses.
A choice of either Brown or Tan, with or without ‘bloom’:
‘Bloom’
The final process in creating oak-tanned bridle leather is for the tannery to apply a generous coating of their special dubbin. This feeds into the fibres to give the leather better durability, water resistance and a nice level finish. The white waxy coating will rub off whilst being worked on or can be buffed off with a soft bristled brush, such as would be used in shoe polishing.
On most items I buff the coating away, but some customers prefer it kept on as an iconic feature of this special leather.

Process:
The entire piece is built by hand from my workshop. The leather is measured and cut in order to incorporate the natural markings of the hide. The raw edges are bevelled and burnished using beeswax balm to form smooth strong edges that will wear naturally over time.
What is Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
The ancient craft of naturally tanning leather is complex and fascinating. Only natural materials such as tree bark are used to tan the leather, a process which can take several months. Veg-tan leather is beautiful, often displaying the history of life through scars and imperfections. The material will develop a wonderful patina unique to each owner and after years become a treasured object.
