Playing card case cowhide

Two decks of cards, such as those needed for bridge, canasta or rummy, store this compact playing card case stylish and well protected. On the outside it is worked with vegetable tanned cowhide, the nickel-plated steel frame provides additional stability. Inside, the playing card case is lined with durable Lefa, a resource-friendly material made from leather scraps and natural latex. The divider between the decks of cards keeps them neatly separated. A narrow slip pocket in the lid provides space for the odd business card or note.

The “Fine leather goods factory” Franz Hammann based in Offenbach (one of the German centres of leather goods manufacturing) is one of the oldest leather manufacturers in Germany. The family-owned company has been producing high-quality leather goods and travel accessories for five generations. The Hessian leather goods are as sophisticated as they are durable; some models require the use of old special machines. Hammann has decades-old experience in leather crafts, especially in producing leather bags and cases complete with frames and handles. Precise workmanship and high-quality materials play an even more significant role here than in leather crafts anyway. To ensure the quality of its leather products, Hammann produces at its headquarters (and has done so since 1864) while processing exclusively full-grain leather of European origin. Locks and fittings are made in Germany. Here too, the details make the difference: all locks and fittings are milled from solid brass and alloy steel and get polished by hand. You might recognize the mirror-bright surfaces featuring a shine that “drum-polished sheet metal parts” could never give off.
