Our Story
Every pad is made by hand here, from cutting the hide and finishing the edges to embossing the initials.
"The things you touch every day should be worth touching."
Deskhide started as a weekend project: one leather pad for our own desk. Today every pad is still cut, edged and finished by hand from European hides, in the same small workshop.
No lacquer, no plastic coating. Just leather, thread and time: the pad you use becomes a little more yours every month.
