The Superior Labor - Bridle Leather - Magnetic Pen Clip

This pen clip, sophisticatedly crafted from bridle leather that will last a lifetime and become more lustrous with use, holds a strong magnet that allows you to fasten it to the cover of your favorite notebook or jacket. It's a convenient and stylish way to make sure you always have a pen on you. With use, the leather will soften and darken, transforming into your own unique belonging that protects your favorite writing instruments. The back of the clip is embossed with a gold-foil TSL logo.

Bridle leather is the way that a piece of leather (cow hide) is finished at the tannery. It has both sides, the flesh and grain, stuffed with greases and finished with wax. This is an intensive labor process which creates a surface that is smooth to the touch. Leather bloom, the natural white powder on the surface, enhances the organic patterns formed during the crafting process. Because each case is individually crafted from organic leather, no two cases are the same. There will be individual differences in the color, thickness, and texture of the leather. 

About The Superior Labor:

Founded by former auto mechanic and leather artisan Makoto Kawai, this lifestyle brand crafts a variety of high-quality everyday tools that promote slow and intentional living. Kawai considers The Superior Labor as a natural extension of his experience working with cars, crafting leather goods, traveling, and curating vintage wares. All of The Superior Labor’s design and manufacturing takes place in a former elementary school campus in the rural and mountainous area of Kaga-gun, Okayama Prefecture, where Kawai lives and works. Called “nap village,” it welcomes visitors to come and experience The Superior Labor’s living and crafting philosophy while exploring the wonderful nature of Mount Hongu.
