What a brooch box has to do
The pin has to be housed under a bar or through a slit so it is captive. Laid loose, a brooch turns and an open pin marks the lining.
The moment it is opened
Brooches are read face-on, so the interior is a pad rather than a well and the piece sits proud when the lid opens.
The mistake we correct most often
Laying the brooch loose on a pad. The pin turns, opens and marks the lining, and the piece arrives at an angle.
Saffiano leather on a brooch box, specifically
Same rule as the other coated materials: the pin goes through a fabric panel, not through the saffiano. The texture is for the shell.
What varies between versions
A bar the pin passes under, or a slit it passes through. The slit is cleaner to look at; the bar takes a heavier pin.
Why saffiano leather for this
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.
