Foldable Leather Backgammon Deluxe - Tobacco

For centuries, backgammon has brought people together across cultures, journeys and generations.

The MELIA Foldable Backgammon Deluxe Collection reimagines the classic backgammon case in a compact, entirely leather-crafted format designed for discerning players, collectors and design enthusiasts.

Handcrafted in Europe from premium full-grain Crazy Horse leather, the Backgammon Deluxe combines the familiar character of a traditional folding backgammon set with MELIA's distinctive approach to leather craftsmanship.

Inside, 24 individually stitched leather playing points create a tactile playing field, complemented by carefully selected wooden checkers with double-sided gold detailing.

A full-length zipper closes the leather case securely for storage and travel while forming a natural divider between both sides of the playing field when opened.

Compact enough to travel yet substantial enough to become a permanent object on the coffee table, the MELIA Backgammon Deluxe brings traditional backgammon into a contemporary leather format.

DESIGN STORY

The Classic Backgammon Case – Reimagined in Leather

There is something unmistakable about opening a traditional backgammon case.

The two playing halves, the central divider, the sound of the dice and the ritual of setting out the checkers are all part of a game that has remained remarkably unchanged for generations.

The MELIA Backgammon Deluxe preserves this familiar experience while translating it into an entirely leather-crafted design.

Rich Crazy Horse leather gives the case its distinctive character, while individually stitched playing points and wooden checkers introduce warmth, texture and depth to the playing field.

Rather than hiding its material, the design allows the leather to become more individual with every journey and every game.

The result is a contemporary interpretation of the classic backgammon case – created to be played, displayed and kept for years to come.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

A Complete Backgammon Case Crafted in Leather

From the exterior case to the playing surface inside, leather defines the character of the MELIA Backgammon Deluxe.

The structured folding construction provides the familiar presence of a traditional backgammon board while remaining compact enough for storage and travel.

Each of the 24 playing points is individually positioned and stitched onto the leather playing field by experienced artisans.

When the board is opened, the central zipper naturally separates both halves of the playing field, creating a practical divider for authentic dice throws.

When the game is finished, the case folds together and closes securely with the integrated zipper, protecting the playing pieces inside.

Traditional Craftsmanship – Reimagined for Modern Travel

Creating a compact folding backgammon case entirely from leather requires a careful balance between structure and flexibility.

The leather must provide enough stability for comfortable play while remaining supple enough to fold naturally and develop character over time.

Every element – from the thickness of the leather and construction of the case to the positioning of the playing points and central divider – is carefully considered.

The result is a genuine leather backgammon set that combines the familiar experience of traditional backgammon with contemporary European craftsmanship.

The Leather

The MELIA Backgammon Deluxe is crafted from premium full-grain Crazy Horse leather sourced from LWG Gold Certified tanneries.

Crazy Horse leather is known for its distinctive surface, rich colour depth and ability to develop character through use.

Rather than remaining perfectly uniform, the leather responds naturally to touch, movement and time. Subtle variations, marks and tonal changes become part of the material's evolving appearance.

This characteristic patina is intentional and makes every Backgammon Deluxe increasingly individual.

Its combination of durability, flexibility and natural texture makes Crazy Horse leather particularly suited to a backgammon case designed to be opened, folded, carried and played for years.

Handmade in Europe

Not mass-produced.

Every MELIA Roll-Up Backgammon board is individually handcrafted by experienced leather artisans using traditional techniques combined with modern precision.

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

Natural variations in the full-grain leather ensure that no two boards are completely identical.

CARE

Leather Care

Premium Crazy Horse leather is designed to develop character with age and use.

Store your backgammon set in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat or moisture.

For light surface dirt, gently wipe the leather with a clean, dry and soft cloth.

If deeper cleaning or conditioning is required, use a high-quality leather care product suitable for full-grain or Crazy Horse leather and test it on an inconspicuous area first.

Small marks, tonal variations and changes in the surface are characteristic of Crazy Horse leather and should not be considered imperfections.

With proper care, the leather will continue to develop a distinctive patina that makes your MELIA Backgammon Deluxe increasingly personal over time.

To ensure the highest engraving quality and contrast, personalisation on the Black Buffalo edition is engraved exclusively on the white playing point in the corner of the board.
