Marfa

$335.00

Elemi resin in the opening gives Marfa a slightly citrus-sharp, coniferous quality that bergamot does not fully domesticate. The Texas high desert has that quality: bright and dry, with something resinous underneath. Sage and suede in the heart are a rare pairing, the herb giving the leather a gray-green, dusty quality that suits the landscape the name invokes. Cedarwood and vetiver in the base are clean and arid, amber providing the only warmth in a composition that mostly runs cool and spare.

Why We Carry This

Marfa sits outside the cultural geography of the other Memo leathers and that is exactly why it earns shelf space. The sage-suede combination is the most original accord in the collection, and the elemi opening sets a register that nothing else in our inventory shares.
