Magnet Miniature Mysterious All-Black Petit Trunk

A magnet for your whiteboard. It's a tiny, tiny leather trunk. A strong magnetic sheet is sewn onto the bottom. Thanks to an improved design, it's now easier to open and close, with more than 1.5 times the magnetic strength. This piece challenges the traditional process by meticulously sewing together two layers of 2mm thick leather—a detail appreciated by those in the know. We hope this sense of excitement reaches you. [Specifications] - Material: Cowhide (Tochigi Leather) - Thread: Linen - Size: Approximately 42mm (Height) x 56mm (Width) x 35mm (Depth) [About Magnetic Strength] We use magnets intended for industrial and special applications. To measure its strength, we placed it vertically on a whiteboard in a draft-free room and counted how many sheets of mini planner paper it could hold for over 30 minutes. - Button Magnet (3cm diameter): 20 sheets - Petit Trunk: 15 sheets While it didn't quite match the holding power of our familiar button magnets, we believe its strength is more than sufficient for everyday use at the office or home. [What is Tochigi Leather?] With pores and bloodlines preserved as marks of its life, it carries a faint, savory aroma when brought close to the nose. Tochigi Leather, which conveys the natural charm of cowhide, is cowhide tanned from "hide" to "leather" by Tochigi Leather Co., Ltd. (Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture). It is a prime-grade cowhide, tanned through a meticulous 20-step process passed down since its founding in 1937, using vegetable tannins extracted from mimosa bark, without harmful chemicals. Tochigi Leather, known for its natural grain, is highly regarded not only in Japan but also by leading apparel manufacturers overseas. [The Mark of Tochigi Leather: The Red Tag] The red tag is exclusively permitted for creations made with 100% Tochigi Leather. At "Your Side Door," we attach the "Red Tag," the mark of Tochigi Leather, to creations over 3,000 yen. However, all our products are made using Tochigi Leather. As a business located in the same prefecture, we proudly craft all our items with 100% Tochigi Leather. [Operation: Whiteboard Excitement - Part 1] This is a series of leather whiteboard magnets.

In the event of an out-of-stock item, we will inform you of the estimated remake time and ask if you wish to cancel. *The leather used is not coated with pigment on the grain side, so it may have color variations, bloodlines (traces of veins), tiger stripes (fetal wrinkles), scratches, insect bite marks, blackening from iron residue, or traces of hair follicles. Among vegetable-tanned cowhide, we use natural (undyed) or aniline-finished leather where such characteristics unique to natural leather are strongly apparent. *The colors in the posted images may differ depending on the lighting conditions during photography and your display settings. *As each item is handmade and unique, there may be slight variations in shape, as well as minor scratches or color inconsistencies.
