You don’t always have to look for inspiration, sometimes it is in your hands each and every day. This piece was based on my Grandfather’s 1950’s head knife. The combination of dark patina on the rosewood handle, and the aged brass of the bolster is a thing of beauty. I designed the wallet to mimic the worn-in ruggedness and simple aesthetics of his knife. The wallet is comprised of Horween’s Dark Coffee Dublin leather and solid brass threaded rivets. More information to follow.

When in doubt, sketch it out. This is a new wallet design  I drew up for F/W 12’. Live images of the wallet prototype to follow.

After some pondering I have decided to release a new series of watch straps a bit earlier than anticipated. A quick look at some of the new pieces for the new year. These straps are made from Horween’s Dublin leather. The smell, color and softness are unmatched. Each hide receives a similar treatment to their infamous shell cordovan. Straps here are shown in Dark Coffee, Cognac and Natural. Each piece hand stitched and lined with a #1 grade un-dyed vegetable tanned leather and fitted with my own in-house stainless steel buckle. 100% made in the USA. Pricing and more images to follow.

Newly made custom bund strap with a removable cuff. Completely hand sewn and cut from a single Swiss ammunition pouch from 1965. The stamps were incorporated into the tail end of the strap. Lined completely with un-dyed #1 grade vegetable tanned calf leather and sewn-in stainless steel buckle. Visit my Custom Watch Straps page for more information.

Just finished my first batch of marine grade solid bronze buckles, took them out of the tumbler and hand brushed the finish with three different grits. I have to say they are a ton of work per piece but the effort is worth it. The results are gorgeous and the surface will patina nicely with some time. There are 50 watch straps just aching to have these installed. Enjoy.

David-

Production is in full swing for the upcoming holiday season. Feel free to email me for details and pricing here: david@davidlane-design.com
