Blog: This Bug’s Life
I began discussing a new A5 Nomad cover with Petra just before Christmas. I drew the basic design I was wanting, and chose undyed leather as a first choice, with black Janet Leather as a second choice.
Petra (our beloved Superwoman) told me that she would be ordering undyed Janet leather and she thought it would be perfect for me, if I didn’t mind waiting. So, of course, I waited.
And last week the leather finally arrived! My Nomad is now under construction and I cannot wait to follow the rest of the process.
I am planning to record how this one wears and ages just as I did with my undyed ring organiser.
And here are the photographs and videos Petra has sent me thus far. I will keep you posted!
It arrived today – two days after it was posted. So I had to do an immediate blog post!
-
- As always, in a lovely Van Der Spek box. I really like the design
-
- Nestled in tissue paper. It was in a plastic bag but I took it out for the photograph
-
- With a separate piece of leather I will store in darkness and not use, so that I can document the ageing process.
-
- This leather feels SO SOFT! A5 size, square corners, long clasp, front slip pocket
-
- Back slip pocket. White stitching
-
- Slip pockets front and back, long clasp, three poppers, full length wallet pocket (meaning no elastic holes showing on the outside
-
- 8 elastics, 2 pen loops and plenty of pockets, both slip and secretarial
-
- Full length back wallet pocket lined in dark brown faux leather.
