Lifestyle| Waprolux-Envelope Glasses Case by aucentic

A glasses case made one piece at a time in Tokyo from Waprolux, the celebrated leather of Germany's Weinheimer. The edges are coated and pared back over three days or more until they are even and strong. Fine stitching set 2mm in from the edge gives the whole piece depth. Inside, Waprolux is used where friction is greatest and Italian smooth leather, which clings to the fingertips, everywhere else. The case measures 7.4 x 17.0cm and the strap that comes with it is 88cm around. Made in Tokyo.

A glasses case cut one at a time in Tokyo from a celebrated German leather. The edges are coated and pared back over three days or more. It comes with a leather cord, so you can wear the black case around your neck.
封筒のように折り返した外装を、ベルト状のフラップ一本で留める構造。エッジのコバ塗りは三日以上かけて塗っては削るを繰り返し、均一で強度の高い縁に仕上げている。
The outer leather folds over like an envelope and is held by a single belt-shaped flap. The edges are coated and pared back over three days or more, finishing into an even, high-strength rim.
内装は素材を使い分ける。頻繁に触れて摩擦の起きやすい箇所には耐久性の高いワープロラックスを、それ以外には指先に吸い付く質感のイタリアンスムースレザーを配している。
The interior mixes two leathers. Durable Waprolux goes where hands touch most and friction builds, while Italian smooth leather, which clings to the fingertips, covers everywhere else.
付属のストラップは周囲88cm(直線44cm)で、首から下げたまま使える。ケース本体は縦7.4×横17.0cm、総外寸は縦8.5×横18.5cm。
The strap that comes with it measures 88cm around (44cm straight), so the case can stay hanging from the neck. The case itself is 7.4 x 17.0cm, or 8.5 x 18.5cm at its outermost.
縁から2mmの繊細なステッチが全体に立体感を出す。ストラップはナスカンで着脱でき、黒一色のなかで金具だけが光る。天然皮革のため色味や質感に個体差があり、血筋(トラ)が出ることもある。
Fine stitching set 2mm in from the edge lifts the whole piece. The strap clips on and off with a swivel hook, and the metal is the only thing that catches light against the all-black body. Being natural leather, colour and texture vary from piece to piece, and growth marks may show.
