A digital gift card for your chosen amount is a great way of letting the lucky recipient choose for themselves, enables friends to chip in together to gift a larger amount or lets the recipient put the gift card towards a bigger purchase.  Also available as a physical luxury card which we can post to you or directly to the lucky recipient with a message from you. Please select either digital or luxury card when you make your selection.

If you would like the card to be posted, please provide the recipient's name, mailing address and a note from you in the notes at checkout or drop us a separate email to cd@carreducker.com with your order number.

To work with the best materials and create products that last:

Tactile, durable and supple chrome-free, vegetable tanned leather from Tuscany.  Vegetable tanned leather is a natural, organical material; the tone and depth of colour of the leather varies and changes with use and age, developing a beautiful patina over time.

(Leather is a waste material and by-product that would otherwise go to landfill or be incinerated).

Solid brass / nickel hardware from Italy and England
