【Wrap Around Retro Glasses Leather Case】
Glasses were a luxury in the 1930s and 1940s, and they were not easily available, so they were quite expensive. They were often worn for reading purposes, and a portable and highly protective glasses case was very important.
This time, we cooperate with lookforglasses, an antique optical shop, to re-engrav and reshape two glasses leather cases from the 1930s.
First up is the Wrap-Around Style, which is made of burgundy top-layer vegetable tanned cowhide and is made with the most traditional three-dimensional shaping technology. The unique triangular wood block and metal strip reinforcement can effectively protect the entire pair of glasses frames and Lenses, faithfully reproduced from the details of the workmanship in the 1930 catalog booklet.
Another feature is the lightness of the glasses leather case, with a thickness of only 1.8 cm, making it easy to store the glasses and leather case in a jacket or handbag.
The production of the two replica leather cases is different from the production of glasses cases in general today. In addition to a large amount of manual work, it also involves the customization and assembly of wooden and metal components, which adds a huge R&D cost and time test, which lasted half a year. It took many improvements to successfully reshape the metal bracket of the 1930s. It is also the focus of these two contemporary eyeglass leather cases. It reproduces the details of the old era 100%, and there has never been a similar type of eyeglass case on the market. Definitely a work of sincerity.
When we wanted to design the packaging for the vintage glasses case, we immediately thought of the 1920's catalog advertisements, because the original idea of the entire re-engraving concept also came from these publications a hundred years ago. In order to share with the guests the pictures we have seen and feel the texture, we took up the paintbrush and hand-painted this 2020's version of the advertisement, and then printed it on the packaging box, paying tribute to the craftsmanship aesthetics of the last century.
