Luxuriously supple leather goods are eternally-popular in the world of fashion, and Lester Ng, who once worked in the accessories department of Alexander McQueen, understood this point by launching his leather brand Noble & Graff in 2008. Besides using the finest leather, personalisation is a hallmark of the brand, as preferences and customer ideas form the backbone of the design team. From bespoke colours to types of leather, this brand can guarantee your leather product is unique.
Noble & Graff carries a strong sense of vintage style. Skilled British craftsmen and artisans pair the leather used for suitcases, jewellery trunks or watch cases with solid wood, making their work sturdy and elegant. They carefully secure the bindings with homemade glue so that they are smoother than run-of-the-mill leather cases. The same leather also covers the steel handles, helping to avoid a common problem of handles becoming decayed and broken over time. The corners of the leather cases are also notable, as they are all leather wrapped offering the owner a pleasant, solid impression. Due to all these details, works by Noble & Graff are easy to recognise and immediately stand out among their competitors.
Noble & Graff likes to use plenty of Alcantara in its products; the material provides a similar textile feeling of suede, but its higher abrasion resistance makes it is even easier to preserve. These qualities have made Alcantara the near standard cover for seats and steering wheels of different race cars and luxurious sports cars. Ng also extensively employs the very British Buckram cloth. Just as it has protected books for ages, the moisture-proof Buckram interlining is turned into a grid-based pattern, covering the interior of the delicate cases.
With Noble & Graff’s exquisite taste in leather, merely holding a modest leather card case, passport holder or belt is a more luxurious exercise than you could ever imagine.
