Aston Martin – vitreous enamel new condition green border badge remounted onto a new keyfob in tobacco oak bark tanned leather

An Aston Martin keyfob badge which we would think will have been produced during the last 15 years which we have remounted onto a new keyfob as can be seen in the photos .

We have just this one keyring with this badge to offer – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

This keyfob badge with vitreous enamel detail is in new condition and will be the same badge as the badges which Aston Martin have provided on their own merchandise keyrings for the last 15 years or so – Aston Martin are one of the very few manufacturers still providing keyrings with jewellery quality vitreous enamel badges like this one .

We have remounted the badge onto a new keyfob in tobacco oak bark tanned leather .

Oak bark tanned hide is a brave survivor of England’s past before the Industrial Revolution transformed the use of natural materials.

There is just one remaining tannery in England producing oak bark tanned leather and still powered by a waterwheel- the site has been a tannery since Roman times.

The oak bark is harvested from coppice oakwoods and contains the necessary tannins needed for producing this leather.

The tanning method has changed very little over the years and is a long gentle process which protects the natural fibres of the hide and takes anywhere from 12 -24 months to produce each hide which is then hand finished by the curriers.

The resulting leather is prized for it’s quality, durability & finish and is a shining beacon standing out in this 21st Century world where uniformity & bland industrially produced plastic materials have replaced almost everything which went before.

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive .
