Pastel Genuine Leather Sports Capsule

Commissioned by Modest Vintage Player, the project required an intentional departure from conventional sporting finishes, rendering classic silhouettes in a composed spectrum of muted pastels. The capsule encompassed regulation basketballs, sparring gloves, and tailored golf gloves, demanding a shared visual language across distinct disciplines.

Materiality guided the execution. We sourced supple, drum-dyed full-grain hides alongside ultra-fine cabretta leather for the golf pieces, ensuring the tonal pastel finishes preserved the natural grain. Panels were individually skived and precision-cut before being hand-stitched with waxed thread, balancing rigorous functional tolerances with a softened hand-feel.

The finished suite presents an understated dialogue between athletic tradition and modern material restraint. Equally capable on the court, on the links, or as curated gallery objects, each artifact demonstrates the enduring refinement of bespoke leather craft.
