Green in leather, specifically
Green hide is uncommon enough that it reads as a considered choice, and it ages into something browner and warmer. For a heritage brand that is an advantage rather than a defect.
What green does for the piece
A deep green is the traditional alternative to burgundy and it flatters both gold and silver without clearly favouring either. A muted sage reads contemporary and photographs well.
What green shows
Little at forest depth. The risk is the opposite one — under warm shop light a deep green reads as black, the same trap navy has.
Which metals and stones green suits
Yellow gold, silver and pearls. ⛔ Never behind an emerald, tsavorite, peridot or green tourmaline — a green ground takes the colour out of a green stone.
Why leather
Real leather has variation in it — a slight difference in grain and in depth of colour from hide to hide. That is the point of it, and it is also the thing to decide before you commit to a house box.
Putting your logo on leather
Leather holds a deep blind deboss beautifully and takes foil well, though foil on a heavily grained hide will break slightly along the grain — usually read as character rather than fault.
Cutting the interior in leather
Leather is wrapped over a rigid shell. The shell defines the geometry; the leather gives the surface.
Keep out of direct sun. A leather conditioner once a year on a display piece; nothing at all on a box that ships.
