"IN RESPITE" HORWEEN Horsehide Glasses Case (Dyed with Avo Skin & Tea Leaves)

Made with 7oz HORWEEN horsehide, tanned alongside their shell cordovan. This leather develops a rich patina with age and use.
 
"IN RESPITE" is HORWEEN Horsehide Glasses Case, dyed with avocado skins and green tea leaves over days. The natural grain of the leather remains visible, becoming part of the overall design. It carries a subtle, grounding feel - softly organic in tone and character.
