Tan Basketweave Hand-Tooled Leather Flask – 150 ml

Basketweave, scrollwork and turquoise. Every mark cut by hand.

A 150 ml (5 oz) stainless steel flask wrapped in full grain leather, tooled by hand in our Jaipur workshop. Two techniques share the surface: a stamped basketweave ground in the corners, and deep floral scrollwork sweeping across the middle, with the recessed areas picked out in turquoise and black. White leather lacing runs the top and bottom edges, and the base is finished in a smooth leather panel.

Small enough for a jacket pocket. Detailed enough to hold at arm's length and look at.

What Makes It Work

Two tooling techniques on one wrap. Basketweave stamped square and even, scrollwork carved and shaped free-hand. Getting both to sit together on a curved surface is the hard part.

Turquoise and black shading. Colour worked by hand into the recessed cuts, so the pattern reads in three tones rather than one. Placement and depth vary slightly from piece to piece.

White whipstitch lacing. Leather lace threaded by hand along the top and bottom borders.

150 ml (5 oz) stainless steel body. Slim curved profile that sits flat against a pocket. Single wall — not insulated.

Hinged screw cap. The cap stays attached on a swing arm, so there's nothing to set down and lose while you pour.

Leather-covered base. The wrap continues underneath, finished with a clean panel rather than leaving bare steel.

How to Use It

Pour through the funnel neck, thread the cap back down, fold the arm flat. Carry it in a jacket pocket, a bag, or a saddlebag.

150 ml is the pocket size — enough for the evening, not enough to be a bottle.

Cleaning & Care

Wash the inside only. The leather wrap must never get wet. Hold the flask upright, pour water in through the neck, tip it out carefully so nothing runs down the outside, and wipe the neck and shoulder dry immediately.

Before first use. Fill through the neck with warm water and a drop of unscented dish soap. Cap, shake gently, empty, then rinse two or three more times. Stand upside down on a cloth, uncapped, until fully dry inside.

After each use. Empty straight away — don't leave spirits sitting in it for weeks. Rinse through the neck three or four times with warm water and leave uncapped to dry.

If it picks up an odour. Half-fill with warm water and a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, cap, shake, leave an hour, then empty and rinse well.

Never do this. No dishwasher. No submerging. No boiling water, bleach, or abrasive brushes. Do not run the flask under a tap — water tracking under the leather wrap will lift it from the body and cannot be undone.

Outside of the flask. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Condition every few months with a small amount of neutral leather balm, worked in gently along the carved lines. Go lightly over the turquoise and black shading, and avoid solvents and alcohol-based cleaners, which lift hand-applied colour.

Spills. Wipe the outside immediately if anything runs down the side while pouring.

Storage. Store empty, dry, cool, and out of direct sun. Leave the cap loose so air can move through.

A note on wear. Undyed tan leather darkens with handling and sun. It will look different in a year, and better.
