The XEN Mini Pouch is the next evolution from the lighter holders I’ve shared for years exclusively at exhibitions and pop-up shops. Each pouch is made from two scraps of Horween Chrome XL leather, sour end from a local shoe factory in Northampton, transforming forgotten offcuts into objects of beauty and purpose. Hand-stitched with precision using waxed thread, the pouch is anchored by a D-ring on the back—ready to clip onto anything, a belt, bag, or even shoelaces. The front fastens with a Sam Browne Stud, making it both functional and elegant. Every piece is cut by hand with a vintage shoe knife once used for toe boxes and tongues, giving it a distinctive, sculpted form that feels both intentional and timeless. Finally the XEN downwards logo is etched into the leather, exposing the beautiful colour underneath.
