Odette — Hand-Tooled Cowhide Tissue Box
Odette is built around genuine hair-on cowhide and leather, finished with intricate hand-carved detailing across the top panel and contrast stitching throughout. The base is mdf board, giving the piece real structure and weight rather than something that shifts or collapses under use.
Cowhide is a natural material, and Odette's panelling 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.
It closes with a velcro fastening at the base, simple to open for refilling, and is designed to be hypoallergenic — filler isn't included, so it's ready for whatever tissue box already fits. It's the kind of everyday object that usually gets hidden away — Odette is built to sit out instead, on a console table, a bathroom vanity, or a bedside table, doing its job without looking like it.
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.

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.
