Nell — Hand-Tooled Cowhide Jewellery Box
Nell pairs a plain leather body with a genuine hair-on cowhide top, framed by hand-tooled leather detailing that runs the full border of the lid. A full zip closure runs around the case, finished with a leather zip pull.
Cowhide is a natural material, and Nell's top panel is cut and finished as one of a kind — the pattern is never repeated exactly, so the piece that arrives belongs to you alone.

The Box
Built to keep
Built over a solid frame in genuine leather, a box from the edit is made to hold its shape and earn a permanent place on a shelf or dresser — looked at as much as used.
Inside, a velvet-lined interior holds everything the way a proper jewellery box should: ring rolls and three compartments at the base for pieces that need to stay separated, and an open pocket with snap-button chain holders built into the lid so chains and necklaces don't end up in a tangle. It's built for a dresser or a travel bag equally — compact enough to pack, structured enough to protect what's inside it, and finished well enough to sit out rather than be hidden in a drawer.
Aftercare
Keep it looking this good
Leather ages best with a little attention. Keep pieces away from direct heat and prolonged sun, wipe spills promptly with a dry cloth, and condition every few months with a leather-safe balm to stop it drying out. Store stuffed with tissue to hold its shape when not in use.

The craft
Leather that's built to age well
Every piece in the Cuerava edit is chosen for genuine leather and construction that holds up — not fast fashion, not disposable. We pick pieces we’d carry ourselves, then let the leather do the rest: it darkens, softens, and gets better with use.
