Chocolate in saffiano, specifically
Chocolate saffiano keeps a warm dark colour without the patina, so every box on the shelf stays the shade it was made. For a retailer that matters more than the ageing does.
What chocolate does for the piece
A deep warm brown that reads as understated luxury rather than as a statement. It gives the weight of black with none of its severity, which is why menswear and watch brands keep returning to it.
What chocolate shows
Very little. It is one of the most forgiving colours on a counter, and in hide it improves with handling rather than marking.
Which metals and stones chocolate suits
Yellow and rose gold, warm stones, and menswear generally. Against platinum and diamonds it is too warm and too low in contrast.
Why saffiano leather
Saffiano is leather finished with a fine cross-hatch press and a protective coating. It is the most hard-wearing leather finish we use.
Putting your logo on saffiano leather
The coating means foil sits on the surface rather than sinking in, so a hot-stamp stays crisp. Deboss is shallower than on plain calf, by the nature of the finish.
Cutting the interior in saffiano leather
Wrapped over a rigid shell, with the cross-hatch running square to the box edge.
Wipe clean. It tolerates handling far better than an untreated hide.
