In the quiet embrace of a well-worn armchair, one's soul takes flight upon the wings of words. Within the pages of a book, worlds unfurl and characters breathe, inviting us to wander through the landscapes of imagination. Each sentence is a step deeper into the labyrinth of human thought, a journey of introspection and empathy. In the act of reading, time transcends, and we become voyagers of stories, both familiar and uncharted. Through this communion with ink and paper, we bridge the gaps between hearts and minds and in that sacred space, we find ourselves, lose ourselves, and ultimately discover the profound beauty of the human narrative. DEFY believes reading books is a timeless and necessary pursuit, which is why we designed the Story bookmark with a nod to a classic watch band aesthetic. 

Your story is richer with stories in it.

MADE FROM GENUINE HORWEEN SHELL CORDOVAN

Genuine Shell Cordovan is the art of tanning at its finest. The irregular oval shaped shells are tanned, stuffed, shaved, and then polished – a process taking at least six months. Each shell is slowly steeped in gentle vegetable liquors. The shells are genuine hot stuffed then slicked onto glass frames to dry. Each shell is hand curried and shaved by highly skilled artisans to expose the shell. Dyes are hand rubbed on for a deep aniline finish. Finally, the shells are hand glazed to achieve the rich, glossy look and feel prized by fine craftsmen.
