DESIGN STORY

Inspired by Tradition

Football clubs build their identity through tradition.

The Classic Brown Edition reflects exactly that philosophy. Warm brown full-grain leather, wooden playing pieces and discreet embossed club branding create a collector's piece that feels timeless rather than seasonal.

Instead of printed graphics, the official Eintracht Frankfurt crest is permanently embossed into the leather using MELIA's specially developed die-cutting process, creating depth, texture and elegance without inks or artificial finishes.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Official Club Design. MELIA Craftsmanship.

Every SGE Classic Brown Edition is handcrafted in Europe from premium full-grain leather sourced from LWG Gold Certified tanneries.

Each of the 24 leather playing points is individually positioned and stitched onto the board, combining traditional leather craftsmanship with the distinctive identity of Eintracht Frankfurt.

The wooden checkers, dice and doubling cube are stored within the integrated leather storage roll, allowing the complete game to travel in one compact form. The SGE Classic Brown Edition represents authentic European craftsmanship at its finest.

Traditional Craftsmanship – Reimagined for Modern Travel

A roll-up backgammon board appears simple. Creating one that lies beautifully during play while remaining flexible enough to travel requires precision.

The thickness of the leather, the construction of the playing field and the placement of every stitched point are carefully balanced to create a board that feels substantial on the table yet rolls effortlessly when the game is finished.

Within seconds, the complete game transforms into a compact leather travel companion.

The result combines traditional European craftsmanship, official Eintracht Frankfurt design and a form created for modern life.

The Leather

The Classic Brown Edition is handcrafted from premium full-grain leather sourced from LWG Gold Certified European tanneries.

Its smooth natural surface develops a beautiful patina with age, making every backgammonboard increasingly unique over time.

The official Eintracht Frankfurt crest is permanently embossed into the leather using MELIA's specially developed die-cutting process, requiring no dyes, paints or additional coatings while preserving the leather's authentic character.

Handmade in Europe

Not mass-produced.

Every SGE Edition is individually handcrafted by experienced leather artisans using traditional techniques combined with modern precision.

From cutting the leather to positioning and stitching each of the 24 playing points, every step contributes to the distinctive character of the finished set.

Make It Truly Yours

Add initials, a meaningful date or a personal message through our precision laser engraving service.

To preserve the integrity of the official Eintracht Frankfurt design, personalisation is placed only on designated leather areas without affecting the official club branding.

This transforms the SGE Edition into an individual collector's piece and a distinctive gift for Eintracht Frankfurt supporters.

CARE

Leather Care

Our premium full-grain leather is designed to age beautifully.

Store your backgammon set in a dry environment and avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

For light surface dirt, gently clean the leather with a clean, dry and soft cloth. If deeper cleaning is required, use a high-quality care product specifically designed for the respective leather type.

With proper care, the leather will develop its own individual character while preserving the distinctive appearance of the SGE Edition.
