It also feels luxe because of its velvety feel! We especially love the functional ring inserts at its side that will no doubt house your fine jewellery pieces for the year to come. Lastly, it also comes with a pure leather piece that can be reworked into a pouch or keyholder. Simply visit Bynd Artisan to learn how!
