Asprey Jewellery Case
The Asprey jewellery case, which fits
neatly into the passenger glove compartment, took two working days to finish,
using a hide of softest grade-one suede cut into 15 separate pieces.
Its
central earring holder is detachable and can be interchanged for use with clip
earrings or stud styles. There are also two additional sections for elegant
cufflinks, and a separate compartment for the owner's most precious rings. An
embossed silver foil Asprey stamp finishes this stunning one-off feature.
Bespoke Luggage
Designed in Goodwood, the bespoke luggage set
can be found nestled neatly in the picnic boot of the 2011 Drophead Coupe
Masterpiece London. The leather used to craft this bespoke set of four cases is
of the highest quality and employs a traditional approach in its creation.
Hides were carefully selected for the firmness and grain structure then
tanned in pits, a slow artisanal way of producing hard-wearing yet supple
leather - and a process that takes four months to complete. The result is
beautiful; a substantial material, in deep Navy Blue, that is also resistant to
hard wear. Moreover the leather has a distinctive and intense aroma of vegetable
tannins that come from the mix of bark, wood and berries used to stabilise and pigment
the hides.
