BEARD COMB & SLEEVE (MARMO BROWN)
A simple ritual, elevated. We came across these beautifully weighted stainless steel beard combs and felt they deserved something more—so we crafted a sleeve to match. Designed primarily for facial grooming, the comb also works well for hair, depending on texture. Its solid build won’t bend with use, and the smooth finish makes it easy to clean and maintain.
Each comb is paired with a hand-stitched sleeve made from brown marmo—a finish known for its chaotic shifts in hue and texture. A thumb slot offers easy access, while the leather adds a tactile layer to your daily routine.
The stainless steel comb may develop surface scratches with time and use. These do not affect performance and are considered part of the comb’s natural wear. The sleeve pictured is the exact piece you’ll receive. Ready to ship.

ABOUT OUR HORSE LEATHERS
Horse leather is a revered material celebrated for its distinctive qualities, unmatched character, and ethical origins. As a byproduct of the food industry in Italy, this leather not only embodies the artistry of Italian craftsmanship but also reflects a commitment to sustainability by repurposing materials that would otherwise go to waste. This mindful approach ensures that every part of the hide is honored and utilized, adding depth to the story behind each piece.
Derived from the hind section of the hide, culatta (butt) is a specialized cut that includes the area just above the prized shell cordovan, along with parts of the belly and hind shanks. This unique combination creates a leather with a dense structure, tight grain, and a medium-to-firm temper, offering exceptional durability and versatility.
What sets culatta apart is its naturally irregular texture, which varies across the hide. On the reverse (flesh) side, subtle traces of shell cordovan bleed into the fibers, creating a chaotic yet captivating appearance. These grain irregularities give each piece made from culatta its own story, ensuring that no two items are ever the same. The natural beauty of this leather shines through its imperfections, showcasing a raw elegance that resonates deeply with aficionados of avant-garde fashion and timeless craftsmanship.
Thanks to its high oil content, culatta leather develops a rich patina over time, enhancing its natural luster and evolving with use. This transformation often results in a finish that appears almost metallic, making it a truly dynamic material.
We work hand-in-hand with tanneries in Italy to procure our leathers, sourcing only the finest quality materials the country has to offer.
ABOUT STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is prized for its strength, durability, and resistance to rust, making it an excellent material for everyday tools like this beard comb. Its solid construction ensures that it won’t bend or break, even with regular use.
Please note that stainless steel is prone to surface scratches over time. These scratches are a natural part of the material’s aging process and do not affect its functionality or longevity. Instead, they contribute to the unique character of your comb, reflecting its story and use over time.
SHIPPING & PRODUCTION TIME
Unless otherwise stated in the description, each piece is meticulously handmade to order, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. Please allow 7-14 business days for production before your order is shipped.
ONE OF A KIND
Each piece is a testament to the beauty of natural materials and artisanal craftsmanship, so no two are ever exactly alike. The hand-dyed treatment, vegetable tanned process and natural grain of the leather mean variations in texture and tone are to be expected—and celebrated. These characteristics are part of what makes your item truly one of a kind.
