PRODUCTION
Our production process.
The seven stages a box passes through from brief to dispatch, and what we check at each one.
Measurement and die
Every job starts with a measurement. We take the width, height and thickness of the product going inside, add the lining thickness and lid allowance, and cut the die. A two-millimetre error at this stage becomes a lid that will not close at the end of production.
Leather selection and cutting
Leather is a natural material; tone can vary even within a single batch. We cut every part of an order from the same batch and record the batch number in the client file.
Cutting is machine assisted, but the direction is chosen by hand: the stretch direction of the leather is set so the corners of the box do not wrinkle.
Body and covering
On timber-framed models the body is built first, then covered in leather. Full-leather models use a stiffened internal structure instead of a frame.
Logo application
The deboss and foil presses come in here. Press temperature and dwell time are set by leather type; the wrong setting scorches the leather and the part is cut again from scratch.
Lining and interior
Velvet, suede or silk lining is applied and stitched by hand. The interior insert is cut and covered to the product’s dimensions.
Assembly and hardware
Hinges, locks and magnets are fitted. Lid opening angle and closing sound are checked at this stage.
Inspection and dispatch
Every piece passes two separate craftsmen. The checklist: corner wrinkling, seam regularity, lining adhesion, lid alignment, logo definition and hardware tightness.
