Marble Valet Trays

Susan prepares every hide herself, then shapes it into a marble valet tray meant for the top of a dresser or a spot by the front door. Drop keys, a watch, or rings in at night, and everything’s exactly where it was left come morning.

A Stylish Catch-All for Keys, Watches & Jewelry

Every marble valet tray starts on the marbling bath before it ever touches leather. Susan floats pigment on water, pulls the pattern, then transfers it onto a vegetable-tanned hide from American steers. What comes off the bath never repeats, so the tray on your dresser is the only one that looks quite like it.

Once the leather cures, it’s shaped into a shallow tray, deep enough to hold keys, a watch, cufflinks, or a stack of rings without anything sliding out. Set it by the front door, and it catches whatever’s in your pockets before you leave. When placed on a dresser, it becomes the place where loose jewelry stays put, right alongside a marble coaster set if the dresser doubles as a nightstand bar.

It does, and that’s part of why customers return to it. The design isn’t fussy or overly feminine, so it works well as a gift for a father or a partner, or paired with a set of linen cocktail napkins for someone who entertains often.

Wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth and keep it out of direct sun and heat. Avoid water or cleaning sprays. Vegetable-tanned leather darkens naturally with use, which only adds to the piece’s character.
