At the bench
Saddle is the working brown, named for the leather trade's oldest job. It carries cards, cash, and a phone the way tack carries weather: without complaint, better for it.
The working brown. It was built to be used, so use it.
The first frame left our bench in 2010, made for a scratched iPhone 4. Fifteen years of refinement later, this is the same idea, grown up.

Made by hand. Made for one.
A wallet and a case, cut from one hide. Oil-waxed, vegetable-tanned cowhide, hand-stitched at our bench: a leather frame with no plastic and no silicone, just grip, structure, and the weight of the real thing.
Three card pockets and a larger slot behind them carry your cards and cash, so the bulky wallet stays home.
The leather keeps its natural texture. Expect slight color variation and natural marks. Yours will look different from every other folio that leaves this studio, because it is.
The frame
Your iPhone presses into the frame at the corners. Brass buttons cover the originals and keep every function at your thumb. The frame rises about 2mm above the screen, shielding the glass and the corners when the day gets careless.
Fits: iPhone 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12 series. MagSafe compatible.
Embossing: initials, up to three letters, hand-pressed at our bench. Included.
The first frame left our bench in 2010, designed to protect a scratched iPhone 4 without covering its screen. Fifteen years of refinement later, the same idea carries most iPhones.
Made to order. Each folio is made once the order is placed. Legacy sizes (iPhone 14 series and earlier) can't be returned.
US customers: tariffs covered for standard shipping.
Made by hand. Made for one.
Every piece leaves our bench in Hong Kong, made for one person, the one who will carry it. Oil-waxed leather doesn't need much. A soft cloth when it's dusty, a light conditioner once or twice a year. Marks and softening are the leather settling in with you. It ages with you, not on a clock.
Why TRIM
Each piece is made once the order is placed. Nothing sits in a warehouse.
Up to three initials, hand-pressed at the bench. No extra charge.
The leather marks and softens with use, not on a clock.
