The GRATTLER keeps things organized
Coming home. Keys on the table, wallet next to them, watch on the dresser, and your smartphone somewhere in between.
The next morning, the search begins.
The GRATTLER valet tray from Alpenleder is designed exactly for these small, everyday items.
A dedicated place for everything you carry with you every day – crafted from genuine fur, making every piece slightly different.
What actually is a valet tray?
The term actually explains its function quite well.
A valet tray is a designated spot for the items we take out of our pants, jacket, or suit pockets in the evening:
Keys, wallet, wristwatch, smartphone, headphones, coins, or other small trinkets.
Instead of leaving them in different places every night, they get a permanent home.
A small ritual with a practical side effect: the next morning, you immediately know where your most important belongings are.
Organization can also look good
A valet tray doesn't have to look like a standard storage box.
With the GRATTLER, the practical tray itself becomes a piece of home decor.
Alpenleder uses natural hair-on leather for this. The fur remains visible and gives every valet tray its individual pattern.
Sometimes more speckled. Sometimes spotted. Sometimes much more subtle.
As a result, no two GRATTLERs are exactly alike.
Each piece is unique
For our cowhide series, we use natural hides from Simmental cattle.
These are hides that are a byproduct of the agricultural and food industries. Suitable hides are selected for our products based on their quality and appearance.
Color, pattern, fur density, and hair length vary from animal to animal.
That is precisely why the product photo is always just an example.
You are not getting an industrially reproduced print intended to look like cowhide.
You are getting a genuine natural material with its own unique markings.
A soft place for your watch and smartphone
The GRATTLER doesn't just look special.
The soft hair-on surface ensures that delicate everyday items don't have to be placed on a hard table or dresser surface.
With its compact dimensions of 17 × 17 × 4.5 cm, it fits even on smaller surfaces.
On the dresser in the bedroom. In the entryway. On the desk. Or next to the bed.
Especially practical for men?
Of course, anyone can use a valet tray.
In everyday life, however, it is particularly interesting for men who regularly take the same items out of their pockets in the evening.
Watch. Keys. Wallet. Smartphone.
Four things that have to be taken along again in the morning.
Instead of four different drop-off points, there is one.
The GRATTLER.
A gift idea for men who already have everything
Finding a good gift for men isn't always easy.
Especially when it shouldn't be another bottle of wine, a gift voucher, or some short-lived gadget.
A valet tray is unusual enough to stand out as a gift – yet practical enough to be used every single day.
Because of the individual fur patterns, the GRATTLER has another advantage:
Every gift is a one-of-a-kind piece.
Whether for a birthday, Christmas, housewarming, or the new office – it is a gift that doesn't have to wait to be put to use.
A fixed place for the things that accompany you every day
Good design doesn't have to be complicated.
Sometimes a simple idea is enough: the things you need every day get a permanent home.
The GRATTLER combines this function with an extraordinary natural material and the love for leather and craftsmanship typical of Alpenleder.
Everything in at night. Everything ready to hand in the morning.
