Once this awful pandemic appeared, I really wanted to make an epic leather sustainable mask.
I worry a lot that in the years to come I will be swimming in the sea and finding discarded PPE floating in the water. This is my way of trying to save the sea from all those masks.
I have engraved the leather with an intricate geometrical pattern to give it a unique aesthetic.
Mask Nº1 has a compartment to slip in any filter the owner so desires including FFP2 or better.
Leather
For the Mask Nº1 I employ full grain Spanish vegetable tanned leather. I hand cut and dye all the straps personally in my small workshop in the heart of Barcelona, a space open to visitors all year round.
For the Mask Nº1 I use the leather to a thickness of 1.5 mm.
For the moment there are 2 sizes: 1 for men and 1 for women.
On average materials would account for around 20% of costs with the exception of solid silver buckles or exotic skins where it is much higher. The rest, 80%, is related to labour costs, the cost of renting the workshop, tools, their replacements and/or maintenence. Not forgetting 21% vat and other taxes.
All items are assigned with their own unique number code and registered in the book of sales to the person who has purchased it.
I guarantee my work against all premature defects arising from a responsible use of my products and will be happy to repair items that have not performed as expected for free. (I don’t cover shipping though.)
Please note:
Due to the one-of-a-kind nature of the medium exact colours and patterns may vary slightly from the images shown.
