Astell & Kern Collector's Atelier Heritage Astell&Kern presents the Astell & Kern Collector's Atelier, a storage solution that truly embodies 160 years of leather-working expertise. This dedicated case is designed for the most discerning audiophiles who wish to protect their investment with style. It is more than a simple accessory because it serves as a premium collectable that enhances your ownership experience. Furthermore, the design process ensures every tactile detail satisfies the five senses of a true collector. Material The case is meticulously crafted using premium male calf leather sourced from the famous Togo region of Africa. This leather is processed by the renowned German tannery, Perlinger, using their exclusive Shrunken technique. To maintain the natural softness of the hide, the artisans avoid using any heat during the tanning process. Instead, they use a special chemical treatment to shrink the leather, which results in a highly elastic surface. Ageing The naturally textured surface is incredibly resilient and resists minor scratches that often occur during daily use. As you handle the case, the leather becomes significantly softer and develops a rich, unique lustre over time. This beautiful ageing process is an unmistakable mark of genuine craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Consequently, your case will become a personalised heirloom that reflects your journey through the world of high-resolution audio. Protection Inside the Atelier, you will find ample space to house your flagship digital audio player and favourite earphones safely. The soft interior lining ensures that your equipment remains free from blemishes or impact damage while you are on the move. Because the case uses such high-grade materials, it offers a level of physical security that matches its aesthetic beauty. It is the definitive way to organise your portable hi-fi system without compromising on luxury.
