01Shape & proportionPattern direction
A soft rectangular body and a gently curved flap give this illustrative folio a quiet profile. Keeping the silhouette simple leaves room for the grain, the thread and the color to carry the character.
02Stitch & edgeSurface detail
The light thread traces the outer form and follows the curve of the flap. The drawing uses an even visual rhythm, with a darker edge to separate the layers. These are presentation notes, rather than manufacturing instructions.
03Hardware & finishFinal consideration
A single warm metal fastener marks the center of the flap. Its small scale lets the material stay prominent. In this concept, the hardware note sits beside the color reference so the two decisions can be considered together.
