Leather Hinge RHODIA No.11 Cover Brown

This is a leather cover specifically designed for the RHODIA Block Memo No.11. It is crafted from 100% Tochigi leather, tanned using the vegetable tanning method. The lustrous color, reminiscent of being wet, is a characteristic unique to aniline-finished leather. The distinctive leather hinge showcases our proprietary manufacturing technique, developed through extensive research. It involves intricate cutting and shaping, followed by a painstaking process of carefully shaving each tooth to ensure a perfect fit. The hinge offers more than just a unique aesthetic. It also prevents extreme deterioration in the areas that bend during opening and closing. Furthermore, its snug fit for the RHODIA allows for a compact overall size. An inner pocket on the flap provides a convenient space for storing cut-out notes. A pen loop is included. Understanding that RHODIA users often have specific preferences for their writing instruments, we've made it telescopic. It accommodates slim planner pens up to those with a diameter of approximately 13mm. While pens with rubber grips can be a bit tricky to insert and remove, you can make it smoother by gently pressing the base of the pen loop with your finger. To demonstrate the smooth operation of the leather hinge and the pen loop adjustment, we have prepared a video for your viewing pleasure.

[About Tochigi Leather] With its natural pores and blood vessel marks still visible, it carries a subtle, toasty aroma when brought close. "Tochigi Leather," which conveys the natural charm of cowhide, is cowhide tanned from "raw hide" to "leather" by Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd. (Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture). This is top-grade cowhide, tanned using the full vegetable tannin method, which utilizes tannins extracted from mimosa tree bark without the use of harmful chemicals. It undergoes a meticulous 20-step process passed down since the company's founding in 1937. Renowned for its natural texture, "Tochigi Leather" is highly regarded not only domestically but also by leading apparel manufacturers overseas. [Regarding the Red Tag, a Symbol of Tochigi Leather] The red tag is exclusively permitted for use on creations made entirely from "Tochigi Leather." At "Your Side Door," we attach the "red tag," the mark of "Tochigi Leather," to all works exceeding 3,000 yen, and in fact, all our creations utilize "Tochigi Leather."
