Calder violin case first leather outer fitted

This last week our chief of leather Johan Ulvede has been cutting, stitching and fitting the leather made Claytons to make the outer for the first violin case we have built.

This is one of those tense moments when something that we conceived months ago, have sketched, modelled and dreamt of for weeks takes a big step closer to the real thing.

Here it is on Johan's workbench.





This is the first piece we've made up with the Clayton leather (the pre-production cases we made earlier used leather we'd sourced from France). And also this is the first time we've seen the new high performance zip from the Swiss company Riri actually on a case.
