This key holder features a woven ornament made from wild grape vine.
There are two sizes: the narrower one is Small, and the wider one is Large.This is the Small size. It is about 0.59″ wide.This is the Large size. It is about 0.79″ wide.Each ornament is firmly attached with a suspender-style metal clip. The clip that holds the ring comes in two shapes—rectangular or semicircular—and will be delivered depending on availability. Please note that you cannot choose the shape.The key ring is a double-ring type. The color of the ring and metal parts is chosen to match the tone of the grape vine. Please note: the small key charm that used to come with both sizes is no longer available since October 2022; the key holder now comes with the ring only.Though the width differs by just 0.20″, the impression changes noticeably. The Small size looks slender and delicate,while the Large size has a stronger presence, even when kept inside a bag.As you use it, the vine gradually develops a natural sheen from the touch of your hands.
If you look closely at the woven ornament, you can see that both sizes are made by combining the outer and inner surfaces of the vine. Unlike walnut bark, which has a clear contrast between the two sides, wild grape vine shows subtle differences in color tone and the way the vine curves.
It has a different charm from those woven only with the outer surface, featuring a lively and expressive look.
Whether attached to your house or bicycle keys, it will gain a beautiful patina over time, perhaps even faster than a handwoven basket.
Please choose your preferred size.
