Houndstooth Valet Tray

Project.1 Valet Tray — 

 


Inspired by the interiors of mid-century grand tourers, the Project.1 Valet Tray brings together three disciplines of craftsmanship: Italian leatherwork, Scottish weaving, and Polish precision.


Each tray is hand-cut and assembled in Poland using Tango leather—a premium, vegetable-tanned hide produced by a fourth-generation tannery in Tuscany, Italy. The interior is finished with Pepita Houndstooth, a legendary pattern handwoven in Scotland since the 1800s and long associated with Porsche heritage.


Four snap buttons allow for two configurations—lay it flat for travel, or form it into a tray for your keys, coins, or daily carry. Over time, the Tango leather matures beautifully, developing a deep patina that tells your story with every use.

 


 

 

Material

 


Our Tango leather is 100% vegetable-tanned and sourced from a historic Tuscan tannery that has perfected its craft over four generations. Each hide is selected for its grain, density, and ability to age gracefully. The Pepita Houndstooth fabric is woven in Scotland using traditional looms, preserving the same techniques once found in classic motoring upholstery.


Every component is hand-finished in Poland, where artisans shape, paint, and assemble each tray with uncompromising attention to detail.

Made to Last

 


Project.1 rejects the notion of planned obsolescence. Each piece is designed to endure—built from the finest raw materials and guided by the hands of true craftsmen.


Natural variations in color, grain, or texture are not imperfections, but the mark of authenticity. Every tray is one-of-one, evolving over time to reflect its journey, and yours.
