Taupe in leatherette, specifically
A flat, consistent taupe that repeats across runs and serves gold, silver and coloured stones equally. It is the safe house colour for a retailer that does not want to think about it again.
What taupe does for the piece
A grey-brown neutral that sits between warm and cool, so it does not commit to either. That makes it the safest single colour for a mixed range of metals and the least interesting one for a brand that wants to be remembered.
What taupe shows
Almost nothing, which is its main practical virtue. Marks that would show on grey or ivory disappear into it.
Which metals and stones taupe suits
Everything, moderately well. It is the colour to choose when one box has to serve gold, silver and coloured stones equally.
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.
