Leather Hinge RHODIA No11 Cover Natural

This is a leather cover for the Rhodia No.11 memo pad. It is made from 100% vegetable-tanned tochi leather, showcasing the natural charm of undyed leather. The distinctive leather hinge is a result of our independently researched crafting method. It involves intricate cutting and shaping, followed by a meticulous process of carefully shaving each part to achieve a precise interlocking fit. The hinge offers more than just a unique appearance. It also means the parts that flex during opening and closing are far less prone to deterioration. Furthermore, the snug fit for the Rhodia allows for a compact design. A pocket inside the flap provides a convenient space to store cut-out notes. A pen holder is included. We understand that Rhodia users often have a preference for their pens, so we've made the holder expandable. It can accommodate slim planner pens up to pens with a diameter of approximately 13mm. While pens with anti-slip grips might be a bit trickier to insert, holding the base of the pen holder and gently pressing can make it smoother. To demonstrate the smooth operation of the leather hinge and the adjustable pen holder, we have prepared a video for you to watch.

As this item is not subjected to the same stresses as bags or shoes, the natural oils from your hands are often sufficient. In fact, be mindful not to overapply leather creams or oils. We hope you enjoy the rich aging process of vegetable-tanned leather as you use it. A Rhodia No.11 notebook is included. Please specify your preferred color—orange, black, or white—in the notes section. *If no preference is indicated, the standard orange will be provided. [About Tochi Leather] Tochi leather retains the natural characteristics of the hide, such as pores and grain lines, and carries a faint, pleasant aroma when brought close. "Tochi leather" is cowhide tanned into leather by Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd. (Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture), preserving the natural appeal of the cowhide. Using only vegetable tannins extracted from mimosa bark, without harmful chemicals, this full vegetable-tanned undyed leather undergoes a rigorous 20-step process passed down since the company's founding in 1937, resulting in the finest cowhide. "Tochi leather," celebrated for its natural grain, is highly regarded not only domestically but also by leading overseas apparel manufacturers. [The Mark of Tochi Leather: The Red Tag] The red tag is exclusively permitted for use on creations made with 100% "tochi leather." At "Your Side Door," we attach the "red tag," the symbol of "tochi leather," to all works priced at 3000 yen or more. In fact, all our products are crafted using "tochi leather."

[Japan Leather Awards 2024] In 2024, Your Side Door was honored with a commemorative plaque after being nominated as a "Selected Work" for the grand prize consideration at the Japan Leather Awards. *While we exercise the utmost care in inventory management, there may be instances of stockouts due to concurrent sales at our atelier. In such cases, we will inform you of the estimated remake time and inquire about your cancellation preference. *The leather used is not coated with pigment on the grain surface. Therefore, it may exhibit color variations, grain lines (traces of blood vessels), growth marks (natural wrinkles), scratches, insect bite marks, black spots from iron residue, and remnants of hair follicles. We use natural or aniline-finished leather within vegetable-tanned cowhide that strongly showcases these characteristics unique to genuine leather. *The colors in the posted images may differ due to lighting conditions during photography or your display settings. *As each item is handmade and unique, slight variations in shape, minor imperfections, or color inconsistencies may be present.
