How It Is Made
The Making of
The Imperial
01
Hide Selection
Each hide is chosen by hand at the tannery — assessed for grain consistency, thickness, and natural character before a single cut is made.
02
Pattern & Cut
Panels are traced and cut by a single artisan using traditional iron patterns. No laser cutting. No automation. Every edge is bevelled by hand.
03
Saddle Stitch
Two needles, one thread — the saddle stitch is the oldest and strongest technique in leatherwork. Each stitch is set by hand, one at a time.
04
Edge Finishing
Edges are burnished with bone tools and beeswax until smooth and sealed. The process takes longer than the stitching. It is not skipped.
