Eyeglass case/ HARD SHELL (HORWEEN horsehide)

Made with HORWEEN horsehide, tanned alongside their shell cordovan.
 
This dense russet color leather case develops a rich patina with age and is a perfect piece for those who need a hard shell eyeglass case.
 
After cutting, the leather piece was well-glazed on its surface by applying leather cream and then polishing repeatedly.
 
Designed to fit standard aviator frames.  Brass hardware.  All edges are well-burnished by hand.  The edges below the stitches are painted in black.
 
Using extremely durable UV resistant waxed threads (Bordeaux and Leaf color), this case is hand cross-stitched.
