The meaning of the design

Front

The winged hourglass brings the passage of time into focus. Carpe Diem, Memento Vivere, Memento Mori and Tempus Fugit join four related truths: seize the day, remember to live, remember that life ends, and recognise how swiftly time passes. Together they invite a life lived with attention and intention.

Reverse

The clock and Roman numerals surround a reminder to enjoy life today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is never promised. The message encourages gratitude for ordinary moments and the courage to give time to what matters before it slips away.

The artwork is part of the leather itself, so the sleeve retains its meaning when the coin is removed.

Why a sleeve

A coin carried beside keys or loose change can rub against other objects. The leather provides a protective layer to help reduce direct contact, while its rounded shape keeps the sleeve compact and comfortable to carry.

How it works

Slide the matching coin through the opening at the top. The sleeve keeps it close at hand for a moment of reflection or a conversation about what it represents.

Give it

Pair it with the Carpe Diem Coin for someone beginning a new chapter, celebrating retirement, or learning to make room for life today. It is also a thoughtful addition for someone who already carries the matching coin.

Questions

Will the leather feel soft when it arrives?
Your sleeve will feel firm when it arrives. With regular handling and everyday carry, the leather gradually softens and becomes more supple.

Is a coin included?
No. This listing is for one Carpe Diem Leather Coin Sleeve. Coins shown in the photographs are sold separately.

How is this different from the standard Coin Sleeve?
The standard Coin Sleeve carries our logo. This version features dedicated Carpe Diem artwork embossed into both sides of the leather.

Will it fit another EDC Reminder Coin?
It is sized for a coin 39 mm in diameter and approximately 2.7 mm thick. The artwork is paired specifically with Carpe Diem. Other sizes may not fit securely.

Will the leather look exactly like the photos?
Natural leather varies in grain, shade and small surface marks. With use, the leather softens and its warm tan colour gradually develops a personal patina.

How should I care for it?
Keep it away from prolonged moisture and direct heat. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and allow damp leather to dry naturally.
