At Tudor Jones & Co, craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. From our bespoke leather goods to our luxury coaster sets, every product is made with precision and care. But what about the accessories that accompany these items? One such product is our handcrafted leather coaster holder—a functional yet elegant piece that elevates the presentation of our luxury leather coasters. In this article, we’ll take you through the process of creating a handcrafted leather coaster holder, showcasing the attention to detail and skill that goes into each step.

Selecting the Leather: The Foundation of Quality

Every great leather product starts with selecting the finest leather. At Tudor Jones & Co, we use only premium full-grain leather for our coaster holders. Full-grain leather, known for its durability and rich texture, is the top layer of the hide and retains its natural grain. This type of leather ages beautifully, developing a patina that adds character over time. For our coaster holders, we specifically choose hides that not only look luxurious but also possess the strength required to maintain their shape and protect your coasters for years to come.

Crafting the Structure: Function Meets Form

Once the leather is chosen, our artisans begin cutting the pieces that will form the structure of the coaster holder. The snip of the leather shears cutting through the hide is a deliberate and precise process, ensuring clean lines and exact measurements. The design of the holder is crafted with both function and aesthetics in mind—our goal is to create a piece that securely holds your coasters while adding an element of sophistication to your space.

The shape of the holder is designed to perfectly fit our standard-sized coasters, ensuring they are easy to stack and store when not in use. Each corner and curve is carefully measured to create a seamless fit, making the coaster holder both practical and visually appealing.

Hand-Stitching: Bringing the Pieces Together

One of the hallmarks of Tudor Jones & Co products is the hand-stitching that gives each item a unique, artisanal touch. For our coaster holders, we use durable waxed thread to hand-stitch the edges, ensuring they are securely bound while maintaining a refined look. The rhythmic sound of the needle piercing through the leather, followed by the pull of the thread tightening each stitch, is a process that takes patience and skill.

This hand-stitching not only adds to the holder’s durability but also gives it an unmistakable handcrafted feel. Each stitch is deliberately placed to enhance both the strength and aesthetic of the holder, making it a true work of art.

Adding the Finishing Touches

Once the holder is stitched together, the finishing touches are what truly bring the piece to life. The edges of the leather are carefully burnished to give them a smooth, polished appearance. This process involves rubbing the edges with a special tool to seal the leather fibers and create a sleek, finished look. The soft whisper of the burnishing tool against the leather is a subtle but satisfying sound, marking the final stage in the crafting process.

At Tudor Jones & Co, we also offer customization options for our leather coaster holders. Whether you’d like your initials, a logo, or a special design embossed on the leather, our artisans can add a personal touch to make the piece uniquely yours.

A Practical and Elegant Addition to Your Collection

Our handcrafted leather coaster holders are more than just an accessory—they are a functional and stylish addition to your home or office. Designed to complement our luxury leather coasters, these holders not only keep your coasters neatly organized but also add a touch of elegance to your space. The rich texture of the leather, combined with the attention to detail in the craftsmanship, makes each coaster holder a statement piece in its own right.

Real-life example: One of our clients, a boutique hotel, opted for a set of customized coaster holders to complement their luxury décor. The personalized embossing on each holder added an extra layer of sophistication, and the hotel’s management has since shared how guests often compliment the beautiful leather pieces that grace their lounge areas.
