Chinese Leather Key Chain

Slate blue-grey with shallow dots and a creased, lived-in look from the start.

This ostrich leather and sterling silver key chain is from China. Ostrich leather is recognized by the raised bumps left by the feather follicles, and it is a supple, durable skin used for wallets, bags and small accessories. Dark, steel-blue strap in a smooth loop, with small round dimples and faint wrinkles across its face. Neat stitching follows the edges. A polished clasp and a split ring complete the hardware. It is 5 inches long, 1.5 deep and 1 high.

Serious color, serious stitching, and a bit of character in the creases.
