Two Speeds of Time

Standard across all kits: Natural uses vegetable-tanned leather that evolves with time. All other colors use chrome-tanned leather designed to stay stable.

Natural / Vegetable-tanned

Evolving Time

A material designed to change with use. With exposure to light and natural oils from touch, it gradually deepens into a warm amber patina—recording time as a physical surface.

Colors / Chrome-tanned

Static Time

A material selected for stability. The color and supple texture remain largely consistent from the day of assembly, preserving the intended finish while time flows quietly around it.
