Inception - UK Saddle Leather Basket & Brass Chain Black [IPC-06]

The IPC-06 is Inception’s take on the traditional wallet chain, pairing substantial UK saddle leather with solid brass hardware. Built in Japan, it combines old world leather production with the weight and character of brass, creating an accessory designed to become increasingly personal with use.

The black saddle leather comes from J&FJ Baker, one of Britain’s oldest remaining traditional tanneries and a specialist in leather originally developed for demanding equestrian use. The leather is slowly oak bark tanned and worked with waxes and oils, producing an exceptionally dense material with excellent strength and natural water resistance.

For the IPC-06, the leather section is approximately 5 to 5.5mm thick before being skived where required for construction. It is finished with Inception’s distinctive basket pattern, adding considerable texture to a relatively small piece of leather while retaining the substantial feel of the saddle hide underneath.

The chain and hardware are constructed from brass and left unplated, allowing the metal to age naturally alongside the leather. Regular handling will gradually dull and darken the bright brass finish, developing the warmer patina that makes untreated brass particularly well suited to heritage leather goods.

At approximately 48.5cm in total length, the IPC-06 has enough presence to work as a traditional wallet chain without becoming excessively long. Both the leather and brass are intended to change through use, giving the piece considerably more character as it ages.

Made in Japan.

Leather & Aging: The UK saddle leather is produced for density, strength and longevity, with waxes and oils worked into the hide during production. Regular use will gradually increase the lustre and character of the black leather. The untreated brass will also darken and develop a natural patina, allowing the leather and hardware to age together.
