You carry too much plastic. It cracks. It fades. It gets replaced. You don't think about it.
There's a version of you that carries leather. It doesn't fade - it develops. It doesn't wear out - it wears in. It becomes yours.
This week's SPPLY. is four picks. All leather. None of them disposable. One of them is a Japanese lollipop holder.
Let's check it out 👇
PICKS OF THE WEEK.
We built a Leather EDC.
Full grain. Hand stitched. Aged with character.
And yes - one of these holds a lollipop. We'll get to that.
Fully linked below 👇
This is what happens when someone decides the phone case needs to grow up.
Full grain leather, stitched properly, built to age into something that looks better in five years than it does on day one. Cards slot in clean on the back, MagSafe compatible, and the leather develops a patina that plastic cases spend their whole lives pretending to have.
The trade-off: it adds some bulk. A slim leather wallet case is never going to be thinner than naked glass. But it feels like an object rather than an accessory - and that's the whole point.
Japanese leather craft applied to your keychain. Of course.
The swivel mechanism means your keys fold away neatly inside the leather pouch and pivot out one at a time when you need them. No jangle. No scratched pocket lining. No fumbling.
Phigvel Makers are the kind of brand that's been quietly making things correctly for years while everyone else catches up. The leather will outlast every other thing on your keychain.
Japanese Leather Chupa Chups Holder
We're not explaining this one.
It's a hand-stitched leather case. For a lollipop. Made in Japan, where apparently someone decided that if you're going to carry a Chupa Chups in your pocket - and you should - it deserves proper housing.
It is completely unnecessary. It is exactly the kind of thing this newsletter exists for.
No link because you have to hunt for it. That's part of the experience.
BAPE doing EDC accessories is not something most people see coming.
But here we are - a full grain leather lighter case with the BAPE branding worked into the stitching. Fits a standard lighter, snaps closed with a stud fastening, and turns the most disposable thing in your pocket into something worth pulling out deliberately.
You don't smoke? Neither do a lot of people who carry lighters. That's not the point.
