Vegetable Tanned Leather Capybara Keychain – Handcrafted Charm

Handcrafted Capybara Charm

This small keychain is a handcrafted leather charm shaped like a capybara, the world’s largest rodent, known for its calm and friendly nature. It is cut and stitched by hand from vegetable tanned leather, a material prized for its natural look and durability.

The charm attaches to your keys, bag, or zipper pull with a sturdy gold metal ring and a small clasp. It is lightweight and compact, so it won’t weigh down your keys or get in the way.

Size and Fit

The capybara measures approximately 8.5 cm wide, 2 cm deep, and 6 cm tall. That’s about the size of a credit card, making it easy to slip into a pocket or purse.

Material and Hardware

Vegetable tanned leather is made using natural tannins from plant sources. Over time, it develops a rich patina and becomes more characterful with use. The hardware is gold-toned metal, which complements the warm leather tones.

Because each piece is handmade, slight variations in color and texture are normal and add to its uniqueness.

What It Holds

This keychain is a decorative accessory, not a case. It does not have storage space. It is meant to adorn your keys, bag, or other items.

Care Instructions

To keep the leather looking its best, avoid prolonged exposure to water or direct sunlight. If it gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally. Condition occasionally with a leather balm to maintain suppleness.
