About the service
Eyeglasses deserve a case that protects the lenses, holds its shape in a bag, and only gets more beautiful with time. I hand-cut and hand-stitch leather cases for eyeglasses and sunglasses — either a rigid folding case for daily travel, or a soft sleeve for a jacket pocket or desk drawer.
For a rigid case, a firm insert is glued between two layers of leather — pressed cardboard or thin vegetable-tanned leather — so the case holds its shell shape even if squeezed in a backpack. I stitch soft cases from a single layer of vegetable-tanned leather or from two thinner layers for extra softness. In both cases, the interior is lined with suede or felt so the lenses and coating never get scratched, and along the spine where the frame hinge usually sits, I add a thin felt or foam padding.
I choose the closure to match how you actually wear your glasses: a magnetic snap for one-handed opening, a rotating clasp or strap for a more classic look, or a simple friction flap for the thinnest silhouette. Initials, name or a small logo are applied by hand — stamped or embossed directly into the leather, without plastic tags or glued-on badges.
We select the leather together: dense vegetable-tanned leather that develops a noble patina over time, waxed supple leather with interplay of light and shadow on the folds, or smooth chrome-tanned leather for a wider palette of colors. The seam is a saddle stitch, by hand, with waxed linen thread: such a seam holds even if one thread is accidentally cut, unlike a machine zigzag stitch.
From sketch approval to shipping the finished case usually takes one to two weeks — it depends on the order queue and the complexity of the stamping. At the cutting and stitching stage, I send photos so you can approve the appearance before final assembly, and with the case comes a short note on leather care.
