I bought this purely because of the gold hardware, the BEAUTIFUL (and I mean beautiful) leather – even more beautiful than any of my Mulberry or Gillio leathers – honestly! I think it is the best leather of any of my binders. Pebbled and grainy yet soft and so beautifully designed. When I decided to buy it, Mr Van Der Spek showed me the tool with which he had created it.
Those are fabulous! I certainly hope they bring those back in production. Looking forward to your post after you’ve broken them in.
That is a very handsome binder!
Was this a one off custom style binder for you?
Enjoy!

No it was one they had previously had in production and among their old stock (with other glorious treasures). I fell for it immediately!
