He's bought you a gift certificate for a beautiful pair of bespoke shoes from Caroline Groves (see yesterday's post); what luxury are you going to buy him for Christmas? Well, you could always buy him a luxurious shell cordovan leather Rocket case from Bill Amberg.
I handled one of these this week and it is quite superb - ideal for man or woman. And it's British-made.
Shell cordovan leather is made by only three tanneries in the World and Bill Amberg has teamed up with Clayton of Chesterfield to produce this rare product.
The process by which Joseph Clayton make shell cordovan leather is centuries old. The leather comes from the skin of a horse’s rump. The circular “shells” of skin are tanned by a natural vegetable treatment over a period of six months. Distinguished by its lustrous waxy finish, superior durability and suppleness, the feel of this bag is quite remarkable. The metal handle closes with a soft magnetic snap and the bag is beautifully finished and engineered.
Priced at £1950 from Bill Amberg.
