Glenroyal Leather Key Holder

I have to admit I was feeling neutral on this key holder when I purchased it, simply because the previous one was too bulky.

But as time goes by, the leather began to develop nice patinas and the color is gradually changing to a nice seasoned tone.

Bridle Zipped Key Case by Glenroyal - From onlyBrown.com

Saw this awesome looking keycase months ago.
And recently, was given a tip-off by my friend a.k.a the boss of onlyBrown.com, about an ongoing anniversary sale that’s ending on the 30th June. Yes, its already 29th as I am typing this. And I really hope you had managed to see this blog post in time to catch the sale.

Some background story on onlyBrown.com

“ onlyBrown was founded out of frustration for the lack of individuality in leather accessories. Most stores offer a similar range of designs and brands (both local and international) with black as the de rigueur color for leather accessories. As a result, product selections in brown leather are often limited. 

Failing to appreciate the importance of the role of small accessories as part of a stylish ensemble is surely a faux pas - much like a seemingly well-dressed man who matches a pair of brown dress shoes with a thick, brown casual belt. Or worst, black leather belt. It does not have to be the exact brown color as shoes. That will be too rehearsed. Being close is often good enough. 

For these reasons, onlyBrown aims to provide exclusive and quality leather accessories in a myriad of brown color tones and with the hope that men will discover the subtle but powerful influence of leather accessories on stylish dressing.  

From an aesthetic viewpoint, brown leather acquires an antiquated look with nice patina over time - exuding a timeless appeal that makes it a pleasure to own. And combining brown leather with different materials and colors would also mean that customers will have a greater selection to choose from. "

The moment I hear about the sale, the first thing I checked is whether the keycase I had been eyeing was still around. Thank God, it is. From the click to purchase to receiving it in the beautiful packaging, less than a day.

THIS is what makes the purchase different from other parcels that I received. A handwritten “Thank you” Note.

I got this feeling that this will develop the most amazing patina in time to come; on a side note, its so pretty, I can’t bear to use it! 

I have to cut my post short so that this can go online soon. Don’t want you guys to miss out the exciting sale!

Leather Key case (Update with keys)

As promised, here are a couple of pictures of the key case with keys attached.

If you are looking at the car key and giving me the disgusted look, I can totally understand it. I can already hear you shouting "WHY THE CARABINER!?!?!?"

Haha!

Well first reason is, given the size of the key (well its not really a key but a remote sensor cos its a keyless ignition), its got no place in any of the 6 hooks in there. So I had to attach it outside. Ok now the carabiner question. I thought it might be easier to remove the key if I have to, like giving it to the valet parking or something like that, without having to give them the whole bunch of keys.

Ok here goes the pictures:

Leather Key Case from Wild Hearts

I ordered this Key Case from Rakuten last Thursday, 26th Apr 2012. Got a shipping notice on 27th April. And guess what? Received the parcel today! That was REALLY SPEEDY for an overseas shipping.

Really impressed by the shop, the shipper and the whole chain of services. Less than a week from the time I clicked the Purchase button to having it with me now.

Ok here are the pictures of the Key case like I always do.

And of course, how can I not apply the Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP on this beautiful key case.

Application of Obenauf's LP:

Shall leave it to dry overnight and I will post some pics with my bunch of keys filled. One of the reason I chose this key case was also because it comes with a card holder which I can put my key access card to my apartment.

Stay tune for the pics with the keys!

After searching for eons....

Strangely, just immediately after I posted the previous entry, a result popped out in Rakuten. And found the key case that fits the criteria I was looking for! How coincidental is that!

Anyway, I had placed the order. Now I hope they can ship to Singapore.

Here's a preview of the key case:
