Update of six month old undyed Van Der Spek binder

Janet Carr

For this week’s undyed update I have taken photos of my binder in different places, rather than where I usually take my photos – on my desk.

It looks gruesome in some photos, blurry in others, but I have included all the pics so you can see how it is darkening nicely now that the sun is back in Sweden. I think of this as the ‘puberty’ of this kind of leather. It is growing into its ‘adult’ self but is at the awkward, gangly, pimply stage.

On the bench outside my apartment. My feet look like hands. Wearing: black patent leather brogues, green socks and black tuxedo trousers.

Here you can see the lighter part under the clasp. Like a bikini tan line!
