About this piece

A pack of 36 Jass game cards is included. Our card game cases are proudly 100% handmade in Switzerland, with the leather leftovers from the production of our sunglasses cases. The leather comes from the Zeller Tannery , in Steffisburg. Jürg Zeller is the fifth generation to run one of the last tannery in Switzerland. Your Moiry sunglasses case is made out of sheep skin from Switzerland. Jürg only uses organic treatment to tan the leather. Handemade by Clément Henriot , St-Légier. Clément is working leather from more than 15 years. This artisan is using a traditional sewing machine from the early 20th century.
