Antique Leather Haggadah Cover, Kaftor for a Kallah, Camel #1557

Camel antique leather in design #1557, made in the Kaftor cut for women. The colour is a warm neutral, the sort of tone that sits comfortably next to both silver and gold on a set table, and the antique finish gives it shading rather than a flat single colour. This is the softer of the two #1557 shades; the grey reads cooler and more formal.

The cover comes in one configuration, which keeps the purchase simple. Its work is done over two long nights, when the haggadah is opened, closed, leaned on and moved around a crowded table, and again over the eleven months it spends stored. Leather keeps the corners from rounding and the covers from bowing, and a kallah who is given a good haggadah as a wedding present usually wants it to still look like one in ten years.

#1557 carries across a good part of the Malchut range. The same design is made as a machzor cover and a siddur cover, as a document holder, and in the tallis and tefillin bag line, so a couple can put the same number on his tallis bag and on her siddur and haggadah without hunting for a match.
