Ivory in leatherette, specifically
An ivory leatherette holds its tone under shop light without drifting warm, and it wipes. For bridal retail, where boxes are handled constantly during a fitting, it is the practical choice.
What ivory does for the piece
Ivory is what white should have been — the same lightness, but repeatable across materials and across reorders in a way a true white is not. It is the traditional ground for pearls.
What ivory shows
Less than white, because there is less contrast. It yellows with age rather than looking dirty, which is a slower and more forgiving way to wear out.
Which metals and stones ivory suits
Pearls above all, then bridal, antique and estate pieces that a bright white would make look new.
Why leatherette (pu)
Leatherette is a polyurethane skin over a woven backing. It gives the grain and the weight of leather at a consistent colour, batch to batch — which matters when a jeweller is reordering a house box for years.
Putting your logo on leatherette (pu)
Leatherette is the most forgiving surface for a logo. Hot-stamp, blind deboss and metal plate all sit well on it, and a fine typeface holds its detail.
Cutting the interior in leatherette (pu)
The skin is wrapped over a rigid shell, so corners stay square and the lid closes on a defined line rather than a soft one.
Wipe with a barely damp cloth. Avoid solvent cleaners, which can lift the surface.
