Traveler’s Factory “Train” Charm

A tin pendant in the shape of a locomotive – handcrafted in a small atelier in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The material is the same tin used for the metal clasp on the elastic band of the TRAVELER'S Notebook: warm and matte in finish, with a lively rustic texture created by hand craftsmanship. The charm is threaded through the horizontal elastic band of the leather cover and sits snugly and flush against it.

Features

• Handcrafted tin: Each charm is hand-cast and finished in a small atelier in Chiang Mai. The slightly irregular, rustic surface is not a flaw but a hallmark of artisanal craftsmanship.
• No two alike: The colour nuance varies from piece to piece – each pendant is a one-of-a-kind with its own patina, ranging from warm silver-grey to subtly toned areas.
• Material continuity with the notebook: The tin of the charm matches exactly the material of the metal clasp on the elastic band of the TRAVELER'S Notebook – both elements come from the same production facility in Thailand and form a harmonious ensemble on the leather cover.
• Locomotive as motif: The shape of a train – compact, three-dimensional and with recognisable details such as wheels and boiler form – makes the charm a small relief on the cover.
• Precise fit: The pendant is sized so that it lies correctly aligned when threaded through the horizontal elastic band of the TRAVELER'S Notebook.

Use & Tips

• Thread through the horizontal elastic band: The charm clips directly into the horizontal elastic band of the TRAVELER'S Notebook leather cover (Regular or Passport). No additional accessories required.
• On a keyring or zip pull: The pendant can also be attached to keyrings, zip pulls or bags via the elastic band – the tin is robust enough for everyday use.
• Combination with other charms: Traveler's Factory charms can be stacked or worn side-by-side on the elastic band. The locomotive motif and other travel-themed designs complement each other to create a personal setup.
• Allow patina to develop or care for it: Tin develops a subtle tarnish layer over time, which emphasises the contours of the surface. If you prefer the original brightness, you can occasionally wipe the piece with a soft cloth.

For Traveler's Notebook Enthusiasts

The Traveler's Factory charms are produced in the same small atelier in Chiang Mai that also manufactures the tin clasp of the TRAVELER'S Notebook. This explains the close material relationship: the same material, the same casting quality, the same finish. If you have several notebooks in use, you can tell at a glance which charm belongs to which project – functional benefit and aesthetic detail in one. Shipping outside Germany is not available for this item.
