Kinich II Eyewear Pouch (Teju Lizard Black)
A quiet blend of utility and texture, the Kinich II Eyewear Pouch is designed to carry essentials with ease and intention. Hand-cut from South American Teju lizard and lined with Italian horsehide, its natural rosette pattern introduces a refined grain that reads subtle from a distance and intricate up close — a surface that will soften and deepen in tone with handling over time.
The open-top construction allows for easy access, while the leather cord sits lightweight around the neck. A discreet swivel attachment connects the cord to the pouch, allowing it to be removed or swapped with ease. Each pouch is saddle-stitched by hand and features all solid brass hardware for understated durability.

ABOUT TEJU LIZARD
Teju lizard brings a quiet precision to small leather goods — a thin, soft surface with a refined, repeating grain that cuts clean and finishes elegantly. Long used for handbags, watchbands, belts, sheaths, and wallets, it lends itself to pieces where scale and pattern matter.
Our current stock consists of Teju (Salvator rufescens) sourced from South America. As with many specialty hides, it exists as a byproduct of the meat trade in regions where lizard is regularly consumed; the material simply continues the life of something already taken for another purpose.
Because of its structure, Teju is forgiving to work, durable in wear, and visually rich without excess. Quantities are limited and rotate as material becomes available.
ABOUT HARDWARE
This item features solid brass hardware, known for its strength and resistance to corrosion. The black finish will naturally wear over time, gradually revealing the rich brass beneath—creating a unique patina that reflects its journey with you. This transformation is an intentional characteristic of the material, adding depth and individuality to each piece.
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.
