R1 stands for restraint.
This case was designed without decoration, without features added for effect, and without the need to explain itself. It exists to do one job well: protect a frequently used object and keep it close.
R1 is crafted from pure full-grain leather. The surface is left uncorrected. There is no lining to hide wear, no coating to freeze the material in time. What you touch is the hide itself—dense, responsive, and honest. Marks appear. Edges darken. The leather records use instead of resisting it.
The snap closure is deliberate. It secures the case without adding bulk or noise. The key attachment keeps R1 within reach, reducing loss through proximity rather than complexity. No magnets. No zippers. Nothing that can fail early.
At this scale, discipline matters more than design tricks. Every millimeter is visible. Every decision is exposed. R1 survives on material quality and correct proportions alone.
This is not an accessory meant to be replaced each year.
It is a small object designed to remain.
R1 is for people who value clarity over excess—and understand that good design is quiet.
