As you can see in the photos and video this case is made with a nose bridge which supports the glasses stops them from moving and adds strength to the case helping to protect the glasses inside.
This is made by myself, entirely by hand, with no machinery involved at all. This item is hand-stitched using the traditional saddle stitch technique which known for its strength and durability, the saddle stitch is a stronger stitch than a machine can produce.
Although it is slower to hand sew something it is done because it is better than machine sewing. Leather sewing machines use what is called a “lock stitch”. If just one loop of a lock stitch is broken the other side will then be loosened which can then lead to the remaining stitches unraveling. A hand sewn saddle stitch is sewn in such a way that this will not happen, if one loop is broken there is a second loop that will remain unbroken thus giving a more secure stitch.
The nature of hand making leather items is that they may possess irregularities this adds to the uniqueness of the items and adds character. Leather is a natural product, and there may be very minor imperfections in the surface and colour.
All items are one-off and the item photographed is what you will receive. I have, to the best of my abilities, tried to show any natural blemishes, variations in colour and inconsistencies in these photographs.
