The design process for Métier often starts from the inside out, which remains the case for this calfskin backgammon set. It’s hand-assembled in Italy using state-of-the-art heat-sealing and leather-inlay techniques, while hand-stitched dice shakers are fitted with discreet magnets that serve as an anchor to the board when it’s rolled up. You’ll find a zipped compartment on hand for storage, artisanal leather checkers and dice, and hand-painted edges throughout. It’s a wonderful gift, but also perfect for packing into your hand luggage when faced with a long layover.
