Antique Leather Haggadah Cover, Thin Mesivta for Men, Camel #1597

This is the Mesivta haggadah in a thin camel leather cover, design #1597. The thin cut is the point of difference; it hugs the volume instead of adding a case around it, which keeps the sefer the same shape in the hand as it was without a cover. Camel with the antique finish gives a shaded, slightly worn look from the outset rather than a flat new leather.

The Mesivta is a haggadah men actually learn from at the table, not just read from, which means long stretches of it held open in one hand while the other reaches for the kaarah. Bulk is the enemy there. There is a single build and nothing to choose, so the buyer is simply deciding between this and the fuller cut in the same colour.

Design #1597 pairs with Pesach seder set #995. Ordering both means the haggadah in front of the baal haseder and the pieces on the table itself carry one number, which is a specific thing this vendor makes possible and most do not. It also makes an obvious chosson gift for a first Pesach.
