Upstate New York Leather Keychain – Upstate NY State Gift

About this piece

Ask where Upstate begins and every New Yorker draws a different line, though all of them agree Syracuse sits on the right side of it. This keychain takes the Upstate side. New York is pressed into country gray leather as one solid shape, with Long Island as a short tab at the bottom and a small heart left standing at Syracuse. Upstate follows in brush script, over NEW YORK in engraved capitals.

Country gray is a cool stone gray, the color of a lake-effect sky in January. A metal die presses the design into the front of a full-grain fob as a blind deboss, and each keychain is made by hand to order. Gold foil is offered at checkout, with free shipping anywhere in the US.
