USE & CARE

Over time and with use, the leather will assume a unique patina. If desired, condition with mineral oil or beeswax leather conditioner.

PRODUCTION & DESIGN

This valet tray with rustic accents is meant to be passed on to future generations.

This handmade genuine leather Valet Tray has plenty of storage for change, keys and miscellaneous items. Great for placing next to your front door making for easy access. Attractive interior soft sheepskin liner with rustic brass metal snaps giving it a sturdy shape. The product itself makes a great gift for any occasion.

The flesh side of the soft leather is first stained with natural drab tone and finished with our proprietary beeswax conditioner. Our unique treatment helps the tray to retain its shape without the aid of synthetic stabilizers.

The leather we use, originating from our well established supplier Compiel, is only Full Grain Leather, and if you don't know what that is, then make sure you're sitting comfortably. There are 4 types of leather, and they are not all the same in quality. You have Full Grain Leather, Top Grain Leather, Genuine Leather and Bonded Leather.

We'll start with Bonded Leather. It's more of an insult to call Bonded Leather a leather. It's basically lots of different parts of leather glued and pressed together to make one piece, it's cheap, not at all durable and it will fall apart within weeks. In short, it's no good and we are completely against it.

Genuine Leather is in third place in the running, and is the layer of the hide that remains after the top is taken off for the better quality leathers. This surface can often be given a makeover with a finish, sometimes a spray paint that can give it the look of a better quality. Not something that happens in our house. Don't settle for this, you can do better.

Top Grain Leather is the second highest grade that you'll find. A leather taken from the top layer of the hide, that is then treated, sanded and refined. It's a good quality leather, but not good enough for Hide and Drink. You can still do better, though, go one more step higher.

Full Grain Leather is the best you can get when it comes to leather, there's no competition here, and Hide and Drink is its biggest fan. Full Grain Leather comes from the top layer of the hide, and has all of the grain, hence its name. It's the best leather than you can buy, and the only leather that we use. You can stop looking now, you've found the cream of the crop.

The tanning process is something that we take pride in. Our rustic leather is created through removing the hair, extracting the moisture, taking out the oils and, of course, the natural preservatives. The leather is placed in a large container filled with new oils, coloring and preservatives, and there it takes on its new color and thus its new personality. The finishing process consists of pressing the leather with heated plates, hung up to dry and sprayed and finished with a sealer. Finally it is pressed once more and then ready for its transformation, in which it is carefully handcrafted by the diligent locals of Pastores, Guatemala, where our workshop is located.

Simple tray with the perfect size....

This square leather tray is a perfect size when assembled and when not needed, flattens out for easy storage. The quality of this item is as usual, first rate and should give you a lifetime of use. I chose black but as always these are available in all the usual colors of leather offered by H&D as well as several with their South American inspired textile lining. Just another great offering at a very reasonable price!

Love it!

I got the tray with the intention of keeping my watches in it. I didn't really like it for that so now I keep it on a table next to my living room chair and keep several pairs of glasses and glass cleaners in it. The soft sheepskin inside insures no scratches. Good looking, manly accessory. Glad I got it.
