The Palace Garden

This case will be on it's way to it's new home soon. The customer has given me permission to show it here.

It's called the Palace Garden. Each area of the case is different from the others with no two flowers repeated anywhere. There are 22 hand painted orchids with a lotus centerpiece on the front of the lid. The reason this case is called the palace garden is because the viewer can follow the flow around the case and wander through the detail for a while and still not see it all.

I am incredibly proud of what our team accomplished with this case. Not only was the design and tooling a great effort but the case is finished with a lot of blind hand stitching to reduce the amount of rivets needed. We invented a new way to do the handles so that they are comfortably contoured to the hand and yet allow a top area for tooling.

And there are some other things I will show you later after the customer has received the case because I want to surprise him.

Enjoy.

Why do you think this case is for a woman? Don't you know that most of the world's top botanists were men? I think it takes a self assured man to order a case with pink and white orchids and a purple lotus on it. I very much doubt that you would want to tell this customer that his case is only good for a woman. Of course he might have bought it for a woman but I doubt it highly.

You will see more of the story AFTER he gets the case and I reveal the development process on this one. I have a few elements that I haven't shown yet in pictures because they are a surprise to the customer.

Come on Craig, all you have to say is that the case is great looking? How does it rank on your list of great cases and great leather work? ;-)

John, I truly think it is a great case, what more can I say John. I did not post to start a contest, you already know my thoughts on that subject and I was only trying to pay you a compliment.

But since you want a contest, I think your people did a great job John, and maybe everyone who had a hand in building it should have signed the case. :)

As far as how it ranks in my opinion, it is not something I would buy for myself, like I said I thought the case was built for a women. However, the detail is very eye catching and unique which is what custom should be. The design and colors along with the theme also are very nice, but like I said above it not something I would appreciate for myself. In the end I am still waiting for something entirely unique to come along that is in no way is similar to anything else.

John, when some one pays you a personal compliment take it for what it is, instead of looking between the lines for something that is not there.

Have a great night John.:)
