Chinese Leather Key Chain

Smoky taupe-brown that keeps quiet about how nice its texture is.

This ostrich leather and sterling silver key chain is from China. Key chains are small functional objects that have long been made in fine materials, so that an item carried every day can also be a personal accessory. A muted mushroom-brown strap with a subtle dimpled grain and a darker stitched edge. The folded end is held by a bright squared-off shiny cap, with a split ring swinging free below. It is 5 inches long, 1.5 deep and 1 high.

Neutral enough for any pocket, textured enough to be noticed.
