The Second Edition Hastings Étui, known as the Helix Étui, is now available for pre-order. Named for the helix cut into its metal handle, this edition embodies growth that moves forward while remaining rooted in its origin. Each turn of a helix echoes the last at a higher elevation, symbolizing inheritance, evolution, and refinement over time.
Designed to hold and protect your sealing pennies, the Étui is both a functional tool and a contemplative object. The cutouts allow the pennies inside to remain partially visible and create a soft, bell-like resonance when they rest within. As you handle the Étui, a shifting diamond pattern appears through the openings, suggesting gentle upward motion.
Each Étui includes three newly designed sealing pennies, created exclusively for this edition.
A total of 249 Helix Étuis is created, with only a small number available at a time. Each piece is crafted as part of a limited series and offered for those who value craftsmanship, symbolism, and the enduring beauty of letter writing.
