Leather: The Traditional Anniversary Gift for a Reason.
By the third anniversary, almost nobody is posting throwback pictures of their fabulous destination wedding on their Facebook. After 3 years, the couples who didn't come to accept that their marriage is a shared journey didn't make it.
To that point, it makes sense that leather is the traditional third anniversary present. It is durable, but
above all, most things that are made from leather are practical.
Finding a third anniversary gift for a guy can be particularly challenging. If they have a decent place
for their money, and a way to keep their pants up, most options are pretty much covered.
While popular with everyone, our trays are especially popular men’s gifts for third anniversaries. As
an attractive and useful addition to a work desk or dresser , this tray is a lasting reminder of durable
love.

What Makes Us Different
Hard forming leather is an artisan technique that can take years to master. Leather is one of
humanity’s oldest materials and its ubiquity has attracted countless technological innovations in
production and tanning. Twin Saints Leather uses only domestically produced vegetable tanned
leather. Most leather products that modern people encounter with frequency are made from a
chemically tanned leather which is inexpensive and quick to produce. Vegetable tanning is a multi
week process that preserves a unique quality of leather: the ability to be hard formed.
There is no easy way to hard form leather. It is a process that requires extensive understanding of the
material , selection for quality and yield, and the physical strength and skill to form and bend an
unforgiving natural material into a rigid shape. The leather used in our trays is 8oz thick, or about the
thickness of two stacked coins.
Unlike many common commercial leather items, which are bulk dyed with petroleum dyes, each of
our trays are hand dyed, polished, and then detail finished in discrete steps. In all, each Twin Saints
Leather tray is crafted over a process that takes several days to cut, form and finish.
In the years since our founding in 2010, our skills as artisans have continued to develop. Slowly, over
time, a person’s ability becomes adapted to a skill. Just like making our trays, there are not shortcuts
in the process. The artisan hard forming of leather is a craft that could eventually be lost to history.
