Desk Pads made of Leather and Wool Felt
Frequently Asked Questions
RICHMOND has a back made of 100 % natural rubber – it grips the desk without sticking. MOIRA sits calmly thanks to its dense Merino wool felt and dampens keyboard clatter at the same time.
Both models measure 74 × 30 cm – wide enough for keyboard and mouse side by side, without dominating the desk.
In our Hamburg workshop – by hand, from vegetable-tanned leather and 100 % Merino wool felt. Since 2011.
It depends on your daily routine: leather (RICHMOND) offers the smoothest surface, sits non-slip thanks to its natural rubber back and grows more beautiful over the years through patina. Wool felt with a leather mouse pad (MOIRA) is softer, warmer for your wrists and noticeably dampens keyboard noise.
Yes. Any optical mouse glides precisely on RICHMOND's smooth leather. On MOIRA, the stitched-on leather mouse pad provides the perfect mouse surface within the felt.
Wipe leather dry occasionally, use a small amount of leather care if needed – the developing patina is character, not wear. Simply brush or shake out the wool felt; treat stains with a slightly damp cloth.
Desk pads made of leather and wool felt – handmade in Hamburg
A good desk pad is more than an underlay: it protects your desk, dampens keyboard and mouse – and turns any workspace into a place with character. Our two models cover two worlds: RICHMOND made of pure vegetable-tanned leather and MOIRA made of Merino wool felt with a stitched-on leather mouse pad. RICHMOND with a non-slip back made of 100 % natural rubber, MOIRA with a soft felt surface that noticeably dampens keyboard clatter – both handmade in Hamburg, since 2011.
Leather or wool felt – which desk pad suits you?
RICHMOND is the classic leather desk pad: a smooth surface, precise mouse gliding, developing its own patina over the years. In Cognac, Chocolate Brown and Black.
MOIRA combines soft Merino wool felt (warm for your wrists, absorbs keyboard noise) with a stitched-on leather mouse pad – the soft alternative for everyone who types a lot.
What makes a good desk pad
A high-quality desk pad does more in everyday life than meets the eye: it protects the desktop from scratches and wear, is gentle on wrists and forearms while typing, dampens keyboard and mouse noise – and defines your work area, in the office as well as at home. At 74 × 30 cm, both models offer room for keyboard and mouse without dominating the desk.
And it's the first thing that catches the eye at any workspace: leather and wool felt look elegant without showing off – an understatement no plastic pad can match. If you're looking for a luxury desk pad that looks even better after five years than on day one, natural materials are the way to go: vegetable-tanned leather develops patina instead of wear.
Material & craftsmanship – why Pack & Smooch
Both models are handmade in our Hamburg workshop – since 2011. The leather is vegetable-tanned (Made in Italy – Pelle Conciata Al Vegetale in Toscana), the felt is 100 % Merino wool. No mass production, no plastic coating – natural materials that are allowed to age and grow more beautiful doing so.
A perfect match: the leather mouse pad for the minimalist desk, and more ideas in our Desk & Office category.
