The Superior Labor - Tochigi Leather - Magnetic Pen Clip
This pen clip, sophisticatedly crafted from Tochigi 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, like a Traveler's cover, 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. When folded or bent, the oils shift slightly, producing subtle lightened areas and a unique, lived-in character.
Tochigi is a pit-tanned nubuck leather. Pit tanning is an ancient method of slowly tanning leather using vegetable tannins. The leather is soaked in a tank-like "pit" and meticulously finished over a period of several weeks to several months. It takes time, but the leather is strong and resilient, and the more it is used, the more it develops its patina and a deeper character.
