HORWEEN Shell Cordovan Glasses Case – COLOR 8 & ULTRA-VIOLET (Reinforced bottom)
This case showcases the elegance of two colors in one design, while the double-layered construction provides both structure and durability. Carefully saddle-stitched together at the base, the stitching remains discreet and hidden, ensuring a seamless, minimalist look.
"This is one of those pieces I would especially love to see again after a few years of patina.
Crafted from Horween Color 8 and Ultraviolet Shell Cordovan, this case is one of the most exciting pieces to watch develop over time.
Ultraviolet is a color that will undergo a remarkable transformation with age, and I would love for this piece to be owned by someone who enjoys watching leather develop a rich patina and reveal its changing character over time.
In its current state, the contrast between the deep brown of Color 8 and the rich purple tones of Ultraviolet creates a sophisticated look with a touch of playfulness.
As the leather develops, the balance between the two colors will gradually change, creating a new harmony as they begin to blend together through time and use."

From cutting to completion, each process is done by hand at my workshop in Chicago.
