Desk Accessories Holder in Black Calf Leather and Suede

In Spring 2008, the Carbolic Smoke Ball buying team - Philip Jenks, his wife and three children - holidayed in Southern Italy. One of the reasons we were there was to visit the Lalex leather works at Pastorano, where they cut and manufacture calfskin accessories using traditional techniques.

We watched the leather being dyed in casks, then cut to pattern, then shaped by steam on wooden moulds, and finally stitched together - all by Italian craftsmen and women who took enormous pride in their work.

The result of this visit was that Lalex agreed to make a range of products for Carbolic, each branded with the scales of justice.

A beautifully made desktop holder, with three compartments, each separately lidded. The body is soft calf leather, with a wonderful feel and smell. Inside, the lining is suede, as is the underside. Stitching around the lids and body sets off the colour, and the lid of the middle compartment is imprinted with a smart scales of justice.

Anyone working in the law will find this accessories holder useful. It is ideal for storing loose change, paper clips, staples, business cards, even pills, potions and toffees!

Supplied in an attractive Lalex gift box, the desk accessories holder comes in four colours: black, brown, orange and pink.
