Product Details
Introducing our extraordinary handmade beeswax hardened leather costrel (wine skin or water bottle) with a hand-carved wood stopper! This remarkable piece combines the finest materials and traditional craftsmanship to create a truly exceptional and sustainable hydration solution.
Crafted with meticulous care, the bottle is made from premium quality leather that has been hand-sewn and hardened using a traditional method of soaking in beeswax. This time-honored technique not only enhances the durability of the leather but also gives it a beautiful sheen and a distinct aroma. The beeswax treatment ensures a water-resistant and long-lasting finish, making it ideal for carrying your favorite wine or beverages.
The hand-stitching, crafted with sinew thread, ensures a solid and secure seam. This meticulous stitching technique adds both strength and aesthetic appeal, further highlighting the craftsmanship that goes into each bottle. Should any leaks appear with use, they can be easily sealed again by running liquid beeswax along the internal seam, ensuring a continuous and reliable seal.
Please note that it is important not to leave the bottle in a hot car or direct sunlight for an extended period of time, as this can cause the wax to melt and potentially compromise the seal. We recommend storing the bottle in a cool and shaded place when not in use to maintain its integrity and ensure long-lasting enjoyment.
Indulge in the beauty of our handmade beeswax hardened leather wine skin or water bottle, knowing that each piece is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and sustainable practices. Experience the joy of owning a truly unique and environmentally friendly piece that reflects your appreciation for heritage techniques and exquisite design. Whether you're on an adventure in the great outdoors or simply enjoying a picnic with friends, this bottle will be your trusted companion, providing a touch of elegance and functionality wherever you go.
Crafted with premium 100% oak vegetable tanned full grain cowhide leather, our custom leather products are tailored to your unique specifications, ensuring timeless style and durability. Please note that, due to high demand and our meticulous craftsmanship process, all custom orders will temporarily take 4-6 weeks to ship. Thank you for your patience and trust in our artisanal work!
Leather Care
Handmade leather lasts a lifetime with a little care. Every 3 to 6 months, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and apply a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and help prevent drying and cracking. If it gets wet, blot it gently and let it air dry at room temperature, away from heaters, hair dryers and direct sun. Store it somewhere cool and dry with some airflow, never in a plastic bag or a damp space, which can cause mildew. Hats keep their shape best stored upside down on the crown or on a hat stand. Leather that has dried out or been neglected isn't covered under repairs.
Alterations and Repairs
Each handmade leather piece includes one free fitting adjustment if requested within 30 days of purchase. After that, alterations and repairs are quoted by the hour, and payment is due before work begins. The customer pays return shipping for all alterations, including the free one.
Alteration turnaround is 2 to 4 weeks from the day we receive the item, depending on our handcrafting schedule. Rush service isn't guaranteed.
