Description

This valet tray with rustic accents is meant to be passed on to future generations. This handmade genuine leather Valet Tray has plenty of storage for change, keys and miscellaneous items. Great for placing next to your front door making for easy access. Attractive interior soft sheepskin liner with rustic brass metal snaps giving it a sturdy shape. The product itself makes a great gift for any occasion. The flesh side of the soft leather is first stained with natural drab tone and finished with our proprietary beeswax conditioner. Our unique treatment helps the tray to retain its shape without the aid of synthetic stabilizers. The leather we use, originating from our well established supplier Compiel, is only Full Grain Leather, and if you don t know what that is, then make sure you re sitting comfortably. There are 4 types of leather, and they are not all the same in quality. You have Full Grain Leather, Top Grain Leather, Genuine Leather and Bonded Leather. We ll start with Bonded Leather. It s more of an insult to call Bonded Leather a leather. It s basically lots of different parts of leather glued and pressed together to make one piece, it s cheap, not at all durable and it will fall apart within weeks. In short, it s no good and we are completely against it. Genuine Leather is in third place in the running, and is the layer of the hide that remains after the top is taken off for the better quality leathers. This surface can often be given a makeover with a finish, sometimes a spray paint that can give it the look of a better quality. Not something that happens in our house. Don t settle for this, you can do better. Top Grain Leather is the second highest grade that you ll find. A leather taken from the top layer of the hide, that is then treated, sanded and refined. It s a good quality leather, but not good enough for Hide and Drink. You can still do better, though, go one more step higher.
