WHY IT EXISTS
Travel has become remarkably digital.
Borders, however, remain rather fond of paperwork.
The Diplomat was designed to keep passports, travel documents and other important papers together, protected and immediately at hand.
A place for everything one would rather not be searching for when approaching immigration.
THE FOUNDERS COLOURWAY
CALEDONIAN WHISKY / HOLYROOD HEATHER
The Founders Issue Diplomat combines Caledonian Whisky leather with the discreet Holyrood Heather accent reserved exclusively for Founders Issue pieces.
Recognisable, perhaps, only to another Registered Owner.
MADE PROPERLY
The Diplomat is handcrafted by skilled artisans from vegetable-tanned leather, with each compartment considered around the documents it is intended to carry.
Materials and construction have been selected to withstand travel while becoming richer and more personal with use.
Made for journeys. Not the drawer between them.
RECORDED BY THE HOUSE
FI.04.01 – FI.04.20
Only twenty Founders Issue Diplomats will be made. Each is individually numbered, giving every piece its own identity within the collection.
The unique Founders Issue code is stamped discreetly onto the piece itself and recorded on its accompanying Certificate of Authenticity.
For example:
FI.04.06
FI — Founders Issue
04 — The Diplomat
06 — The sixth example of twenty
REGISTERED BY THE HOUSE
Every Founders Issue Diplomat is entered into the Balfour Cairns House Register with its individual number, year of issue and original Registered Owner.
It is accompanied by its Certificate of Authenticity, establishing its provenance from the moment it is issued by the House.
