What a locket box has to do
A locket is thick and hinged, and it is opened by the customer in the shop. The seat has to take the depth and leave the edge free enough that a fingernail can get under it.
The moment it is opened
Lockets are bought for what goes inside them, so the box is often kept as long as the piece — and it is handed on with it.
The mistake we correct most often
A seat with no clearance at the edge. A locket is opened in the shop, and if a fingernail cannot get under the rim the customer cannot open it in front of you.
Saffiano leather on a locket box, specifically
A locket box is opened by the customer with a fingernail at the rim, and that rim is where a smooth material wears first. Saffiano is the wrapped material that survives it best.
What varies between versions
A seat that shows the locket closed, or one that holds it open to show the interior. Lockets sold for what goes inside are often shown open.
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.
