Limited 3-Ring Leather Binder Unevenly Dyed Cordovan
Enjoy the unique expression of Unevenly dyed Cordovan Leather, available in a 3-ring Leather Binder at the San Francisco Pen Show. This special leader by ROCADO is hand-dyed using a sponge to create an uneven expression across the premium Cordovan horse leather.
The technique utilizes two layers of dye, one lighter and one darker, to create a two-toned pattern. Since each piece is dyed individually by hand, each piece has its unique pattern and coloring. The 3-Ring Unevenly dyed Cordovan Leather Binder is available in blue, wine, and green.
In contrast to the colorful exterior, the backside of the leather showcases the natural characteristics that leather collects through the manufacturing process. There will be unique stampings, color patches, and marks that speak to the story of the leather.
*Please note that Cordovan leather is vulnerable to water, humidity, and perspiration. When cordovan gets wet, white water stains-like spots will remain. Also, if left in a wet condition, blisters may occur. This is because water permeates the leather and causes the leather fibers to shrink. Please be careful not to let the leather get wet, as this can cause a significant change in the leather’s appearance. Please be careful of color transfer when the product is kept in close contact with light-colored cloths for a long time in humid
Limited 3-Ring Leather Binder Unevenly Dyed Cordovan (blue/wine/green)- $115
A special Blue Paper Refill Memo Pad in Card Size will also be available for purchase at the table.
