Long before glass and plastic, precious resin was kept in leather — soft, breathing, and made to last a lifetime of journeys. This small box returns to that instinct, holding Dhofari frankincense in hide worked by hand until it is supple and warm to the touch. The resin inside is harvested from Boswellia sacra trees that grow only in a narrow band of southern Oman, where the monsoon mist and dry heat meet in perfect measure. Our leatherworkers stitch each box in the manner of the old saddle and satchel makers, one seam at a time. Opening it releases the citrus-balsam breath that once perfumed the palaces of kings. It is heritage you can carry in the palm of your hand.
