Hand stitched Red Japanese Shell Cordovan Zipper Carrying Case
Handcrafted Japanese shell cordovan zipper case lined in black Italian vegetable tanned leather. Fully handstitched with hand-waxed red thread and opens with a matching red YKK Excella brass zipper. The interior is stamped with Province, Country and name of the workshop. Along the spine is a blind stamped logo for a subtle branding. The interior was designed with two slip pockets to carry a hand full of slim pens or to be repurposed as a zipper wallet for passport carry, bills and other items. The Japanese shell cordovan used here has an aniline finish for a long lasting color and surface.
The client was an advocate for pens and wanted to keep them safe with an equally beautiful leather case.
