Just in time for the holiday season, the Ball Making Kit returns in a new full-size edition.
Created in collaboration with Buenos Aires-based artist Malena Guerrieri, the Holiday Edition introduces our first Size 5 football, bringing back best-selling palettes from the Collector's Edition alongside new color combinations and special leather finishes inspired by the season.
Each kit includes everything you need to assemble and hand stitch a fully functional Size 5 football using reclaimed Argentine leather sourced from the sample archives and production remnants of the artist's family tannery.
CHOOSE YOUR PALETTE
Each palette is a starting point. As we work with reclaimed leather, colors, textures, and finishes may vary from the reference images, making every kit one of a kind.
