Material

Leather that records use.

Full-grain Nappa. We use it because it improves with use. Most leather does not.

The Diplomat in Oxblood beside its box

Nappa leather

A full grain hide, soft to the hand, structured under tension. It deepens, it does not flake.

Semi vegetable tanning

A slow process that retains the character of the hide while preparing it for daily use.

Patina with time

Used carefully, the hide records movement. A wallet that improves with carrying is the only kind worth making.

Colourways

A restrained palette.

Oxblood

Deepens beautifully. The signature.

Espresso

Darker, cooler, and more precise.

Saddle Tan

A warm accent. Used with intent.

Packaging

Packaging above its class.

Built to feel like a considered gift, not an add on.

01

Box Form

Rigid drawer construction in Saddle Tan kraft, finished with a black satin pull. Built to feel like a considered gift, not an add on.

02

Interior

Charcoal grey lining contains the object cleanly. The drawer slides slowly, the way a well made thing should.

03

Insert

A debossed insert card carries the brand mark and a brief statement of provenance. Designed in London. Crafted in Kolkata.

04

On the Leather

BISWAS is debossed directly on the hide. A founder's surname, pressed quietly into the material. Not branding. A guarantee.
