Machzor Set in Antique Bronze Leather, Kaftor for Kallahs #1557

Antique bronze leather on the #1557 binding, made up as a Kaftor kallah machzorim set. The tone is warm and low, the sort of bronze that looks quietly formal rather than decorative, and the antique finish gives it the depth that a single flat color never has. It is a set that looks better in a woman's hands in shul than it does in a photograph, which is generally the right way around.

These are the machzorim for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and they are bought to serve for decades, not for a season. Leather binding is the difference between a set that survives being carried to shul and back twice a year for twenty years and one that does not.

Design #1557 runs unusually wide across the catalog — siddur covers, haggadah covers, tallis and tefillin bags and document holders all come in this frame. That last one matters for a couple: the kesuba holder and the kallah's machzorim in the same leather is a pairing chassanim ask for specifically.
