Hide and teeth: Ace reworks the barber’s comb

Pennsylvania – Leather craft company Billykirk has redesigned the barber shop comb for Ace Hotel. The boutique hotel, which has locations across America, now provides guests with a unique comb and sleeve made from Italian leather and featuring traditional hand-stitched detail.

Retailing from $65, Billykirk tailors its designs to the organic qualities of leather, using natural vegetable dye and beeswax – ensuring that products are durable and improve with age.
