Alfa Romeo - late 1950s/early 1960s badge mounted onto a keyfob in genuine red pigskin leather

Slimline teardrop keyrings with this late 1950s/early 1960s Alfa Romeo Milano badge are one of our most popular keyrings – and are almost always ordered in red leather.

Customers have been asking if we could make an Alfa Romeo keyring using a ‘special leather’ as we do with some keyrings for other marques.

The problem has been that most ‘special leathers’ in a grade suitable for making keyrings are not produced in a red colour………………but the problem has now been solved as we have discovered just one tannery which can supply genuine red pigskin leather  !

Pigskin leather has always occasionally been used for keyrings by some prestige marques such as Aston Martin & occasionally Jaguar.

Pigskin leather is regarded as a ‘luxury’ material but is also very hard wearing with a lovely texture and ideal ( but expensive ! ) for making keyfobs.

Here is the result – an individually handmade and handstitched Alfa Romeo keyring with a red slimline teardrop keyfob in genuine pigskin leather .
