Introducing the Cuir Leather Scarf Ring Collection
This week I am delighted to announce the arrival of ‘Cuir’, the new Leather Scarf Ring Collection from Liberatti.
‘Cuir’ is French for leather, an incredible material not only rich in grain and colour, but a story teller in its own right, gathering memories of the past through its interaction with elements and people. I have often admired old leather books, belts and bags and their little clues of dents, scratches, creases and scrapes collected over a lifetime of use, and each telling of an event of some sort. Leather ages beautifully doesn’t it?
In this instance our Cuir leather is fresh and ready for life to begin. In four stunning colours it has inspired us to ponder stories of the land, those working lifestyles where the hand and heart align.
Cuir Grape – the colour of harvest, ripe bunches, autumn leaves turning, a glass of mellow red…
Cuir Terracotta… the warm glow of a terracotta pot overflowing with herbs, the colour of cane cafe chairs, so ubiquitous, so French……
Cobalt -marine or navy…catch of the day , fishing villages and seasides, the fading patina of a mysterious estate door ……..
Cuir Olive…sunshine green, skylarks, a warm breeze under an olive tree…
Our Studio goldsmith has departed from his usual prototyping to accommodate the leather and begins by casting the barrel in 92.5 silver followed by gold plating.
He then polishes by hand, measures and precisely cuts the leather, fits, stretches, trims, and finally, fixes the name plate over the leather, to be sealed with just a sliver of molten sliver.
Every piece is checked by my hand before packaging. I really hope you love them as much as we do.
