Freaks & Co. Mini 6 (M6) Flat Desk Binder with Brass Clasp, Leather Ring Binder, Black or Natural

A coverless Mini 6 (M6) flat desk binder with a solid brass clasp, made in Kyoto by Freaks & Co. It sits flat on your desk and works like a memo pad. Fit your Mini 6 refills and slip a favourite photo, card or cover lifter on top.

The base is firm and flat so it stays stable while you write. Three layers of leather are stacked so there is no step between the base and the binder, and the screws are recessed on the back so no metal touches your desk.

The leathers

Black (Tochigi leather, Japan): a smooth semi-hard leather with a moderate oil finish and natural sheen that deepens slowly with age. The surface grain varies by lot.
Natural / Kinari (Il Ponte, Italy): double shoulder vegetable-tanned leather in a soft, natural tone. Undyed leather shows scratches and unevenness more than dyed leather does.
Back of the binder: leather splits laminated together for thickness and firmness (Japanese leather on the Black, Japanese and Italian on the Natural). The origin and thickness vary with stock.

Brass clasp

Solid brass, easy to open and close, and keeps the cover closed
It changes colour with age, and polishing restores the original shine

Care and notes

Every binder is real leather. Natural marks, wrinkles, tiny dark spots and variations in colour and tone are part of the material, not defects.
Colour and tone vary between leather lots, and screen colours may differ slightly from the real product.
Made for desk use. It can be carried, but a flat binder with no cover needs a little care when you take it out.

About Freaks & Co.

Freaks & Co. is a simple brand based in Kyoto, Japan, known for making personal everyday items in small batches, and everything is made in Kyoto. It began with a concern about the waste created when products have a short life or aren’t given the time they need. Each item carries the culture, traditions and stories of the craftspeople behind it, and the brand aims to protect those by avoiding wasteful production and focusing on quality.

For Freaks & Co., real luxury isn’t about money or the latest thing. It’s sharing time with people, and enjoying things that are rugged, honest and full of kindness. They hope to make things that are cherished rather than thrown away, so that you can carry them with you for years.
