The Mlc collection
We have created 25 of our own themed product ranges using motifs taken from original pieces within various historical periods, artistic movements and artists. See below for examples of some of our ranges, click here for the complete offer.
Bespoke Service
We are experienced in this field and are very happy to work with you to develop a range of highly attractive, unique and sellable items for you. We are able to make a very wide range of shapes, sizes, colours and finishes of leather boxes and other products.
Leather Care
Our products are hand made from vegetable tanned sheep or goats leather which makes the colours more vulnerable to light. We will make you aware of the colours which darken or change over time when we are discussing your requirements with you.
Leather is a living material which does not tolerate moist or very dry atmospheres. Please be sure to unpack your boxes out of their protective cellophane wraps and store them in a cool dry place out of direct light. Air conditioning can sometimes cause condensation to collect on the boxes and this will damage them. Alternating heat and cold can bring out a whitish bloom which is the polish seeping from the surface. Normally this can be removed by using a soft dry cloth to polish the affected surfaces.
The glazed finish of our boxes is such that if it is scratched, polish will not repair it. On the other hand it is very soft to the touch and ages very gracefully gaining an attractive and unique patina. Cleaning only requires a soft dry cloth.
Contact Us
When contacting us please do provide a phone number. We are often better able to address individual concerns and ideas with a phone conversation.
For US customers, please also indicate your time zone to enable us to avoid contacting you at an inconvenient time.
