On the pictures: The polished black one was used for 3 months and you can see it as an example how the culatta polishes over time. All the white waxy spots disappear, it becomes smoother and shinier.

You can replace the lighter yourself, and it fits snugly and safe. However, if you fidget with it too much the leather will stretch. It's not a problem, you can wrap your lighter in masking tape for a tighter fit. All leather items are made for life and it should serve you forever.

NB: the item is shipped internationally without a lighter. It fits classic BIC Maxi lighters.

Each item is one of a kind due to the natural full grain texture of leather and the creative process. Everything particular about this item is as it should be.

Quality is a journey

Hand-stitched

Saddle stitch is the strongest seam that can't be replicated by a sewing machine... for sure it's an overkill.

Still the quality comes not from its toughness, but from the process and the journey. First through my hands and then in your own adventures.

My principles and choices

Avant-garde leather

Horse culatta

I'm mesmerized by horse culatta with shell cordovan traces and wrinkles.

It arrives with waxy residue and matte texture to be polished by your hands and develop a smooth shine.

What is horse culatta?

Heritage leathercraft

Made to last

Vegetable tanned full-grain leather is a very particular material. It won't stay brand new and perfect like a heavily coated chrome tanned leather.

Instead it develops character and patina, and this is how it can survive much longer, through changes.
