Design Ideas and Moxie & Oliver Traditional Serving Trays

Teak wood is prized by modernist designers and traditional wood craftsmen for its resistance to cracking or warping. As foresters log off mature stands, they leave behind stumps and roots that would typically be burned out of the soil. For generations now, enterprising village craftsmen in Indonesia have extracted these abandoned roots and worked them into beautiful household products with a unique, organic nature that animates their creations.

There is always a corner of your home that could use organization from catching keys, to coins, to jewelry or love notes, our handmade leather valet trays have a variety of uses. The pattern on the Belle Valet Tray was inspired by traditional western tooling and wild roses and the colors the bright turquoise and soft antique brown perfectly reflect that inspiration.
Our leather valet trays start with a thicker piece of tooling leather (5/6 oz) that we cut, brand or carve, paint and dye by hand before applying a protective topcoat to keep the colors permanent. The edges are stitched by hand with a waxed thread for durability.
These little trays come in handy in every corner of your home - catching keys, jewelry, small wallets and cell phones - and they make wonderful wedding and housewarming gifts.
