GRAMS28- A GREATER MISSION.
A world where transparency and fair trade are achievable, GRAMS28 believes you should know the quality and level of ethical production involved in your purchase. Full Grain Italian leather goods handcrafted by skilled artisans, Made in Hong Kong.
GRAMS28 is a brand that manufacturers small leather accessories, these include iPhone cases, AirPods cases, Apple watch straps, satchels, laptop bags and backpacks. I first came across whilst browsing on Instagram, with its minimal aesthetic, and being a brand with its roots in Hong Kong, I was instantly a fan from beginning.
BEAUTIFUL IMPERFECTIONS.
The leather of their products is of the the finest grade and full-grain leather. The difference is in its outstanding appearance, feel, and durability. Due to full-grain leather coming from the top layer of the hide, it has been exposed to the elements, is strong and it tells its own unique story. Speaking of the leather with time, it will develop its own unique patina, a glossy sheen and natural darkening is achieved through age, use, and exposure to sunlight. They also have a new range called The Snowflake that celebrates the changes in patina over 90 days.
At GRAM28 they embrace the irregularities of their products, as that is exactly what gives it that unique, one-of-a-kind look, making every one of their products unique.
Speaking of unique, one of the things that you first notice on GRAMS28 products is a code hot stamped onto their accessories, what may seem as purely aesthetic at first, is actually a very clever way device that acts somewhat like a SKU “stock keeping unit” code for consumers, Ten numbers, divided into three sets, are de-bossed in white on each product. Each set of number corresponds to a different meaning that can be traced back to the origin of each product. It refers to style number, material provider, material type and the makers that make the product. The code reminds me of the ‘barcode’ found on the side of Common Project sneakers which serves a similar purpose.
GRAMS28 gives consumers the power to know exactly what you are buying by breaking down every product to its raw materials and trace back to their origin, so they can understand more than where their products were made.
Now thats radical transparency.
How to read the codes.
QUALITY MATTERS.
At Mr Gumbatron we value lasting timeless design and products manufactured to companion us though the journey of life. GRAMS28 make essential products that people can hold on for a long time, pieces that last for years to come. The concept to buy things that are going to last you your lifetime instead of something that’s meant to be thrown away after a few uses.
The newly launched The Snowflake collection is a treat; From day one to day ninety, the unique Snowflake patterning will buff away and develop a fantastic rugged look with a glossier surface. You can enjoy two very different looks over the course of your ownership within the first three months.
HONEST PRICING.
Accelerated by the digital era, we as consumers are more than ever educated about not only the quality of products but also the cost of products in the broad sense. Consumers shouldn’t have to choose between quality, fairness and value. Transparency in a brand means providing real quality at a much lower price. I appreciate that GRAMS28 are not trying to squeeze an extra dollar from their customers through hidden markups. They spend effort to empower their makers and showcase what goes into making each product and ensure their partners get full recognition for their devotion and skill. Know What is Worth Paying For.
PACKAGING & DETAILS.
Given GRAMS28 is such a design focused brand, their packaging is on point. Your purchased items come packed in a beautifully branded black recycled cardboard box - larger products come with a cotton dust bag, whilst smaller products in a felt pouch, both of which are designed to be re-purposed; they suggest you store your sunglasses or small essentials in the felt pouch. I found it makes a great phone pouch too. We love this!
Iphone Cases.
One of their best sellers are their iPhone cases, MagSafe compatible and personalisable with your desired monogram. Theses stylish and minimal cases offer great protection for your precious iPhone, including a raised bezel around the camera aperture. They come in various colours and leather options including the new Snowflake finish. Please keep in mind that these are leather cases and you should look after them, I recommend you take extra care with them as they tend to scuff quite easily given how much one typically handles their phone.
FEATURES
MagSafe Ready: The in-built magnets will allow your phone to charge faster and easier than ever before.
Edge + Camera Protection: It provides 360-degree protection around the edges of your new phone and the edge rises 1mm above the glass and camera.
Snowflake Leather: Made of Italian vegetable-tanned Snowflake leather that will develop a fantastic rugged look with a glossier surface. Gets better with age.
Personalised: We use a traditional, hand-debossing technique that heats and stamps letters deeply into the leather surface for lasting quality.
