Leather Hinge RHODIA No11 Cover Black

This is a leather cover for the Rhodia Block Memo No. 11. It is crafted from 100% Tochigi leather tanned with vegetable tannins. Its lustrous color, reminiscent of wet leather, is a characteristic of aniline-finished leather. The distinctive leather hinge is made using a unique, meticulously researched technique. After complex cutting and shaping, each interlocking part is carefully filed to ensure a precise fit, a truly elaborate process. The hinge offers more than just a unique appearance. It also prevents extreme deterioration of the leather at the opening and closing points. Furthermore, its snug fit for the Rhodia allows for a compact design. An internal pocket inside the flap provides a space to store cut-out notes. A pen holder is included. Recognizing that Rhodia users likely have a preference for their pens, we've designed it to be expandable. It accommodates slim planner pens up to pens with a diameter of approximately 13mm. While pens with rubber grips may be slightly more challenging to insert or remove, gently pressing the base of the pen holder with your finger will facilitate smooth handling. To showcase the smooth operation of the leather hinge and the pen holder adjustment, we have prepared a video for your viewing pleasure.
