This edition is built around mossy green full grain vegetable-tanned cowhide, embossed in a crocodile pattern that carries structure and rhythm. The scales are deliberate — larger defined plates flowing into tighter formations, creating contrast through shadow and elevation. The texture is not decorative. It is architectural. It gives the surface tension, depth, and movement under light.
This same crocodile-printed cowhide continues into selected areas of the interior — a controlled repetition of the exterior character. Not excessive. Not random. Just enough to maintain continuity.
The remaining interior is finished in deep olive green full grain vegetable-tanned goat hide. Naturally tight-grained, dense, and refined, the surface carries a subtle pebble character that feels firm yet smooth to the touch. Goat hide is chosen for resilience and flexibility — it holds structure without becoming rigid. Over time, it develops depth, not fatigue.
Every edge is hand-creased with discipline.
Every edge is hand-burnished in the Mont Pedro method — layered, sealed, and polished until the finish feels intentional, not rushed.
Hand-stitched using Basil green waxed thread, the construction is reinforced with tension control that machines simply cannot replicate. The thread integrates with the green tones rather than competing with them — strength without visual noise.
