TRC brass Index Clip (6 pcs)
Six small clips crafted from solid brass – simple in design, with an open frame where you can write titles or dates. Whether you're organising Traveler's Notebooks or hanging files, these index clips are a tool that proves itself functionally reliable whilst also maturing visually over time: the copper in the brass oxidises slowly, the surface darkens, gaining depth and character.
Features
- Solid brass: The clips are crafted from solid brass – no plating, no coating. This makes them robust and gives them that cool, substantial feel in your hand that's immediately apparent.
- Living patina: Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. With use, the copper on the surface oxidises – the clips become darker, more bronzed, more individual. Each piece develops its own story.
- Writable frame: The open clip frame is sized so a small paper strip with a title or date can be inserted – classic index functionality, just like a hanging file.
- Compact format: 30 × 18 mm – large enough to grip securely, small enough to sit discreetly on the edge or cover page.
- Set of six: Six clips per pack – sufficient to mark multiple sections of a notebook or different document folders simultaneously.
Use & Tips
- Organise your Traveler's Notebook: Mark individual refills or pages within an insert with a clip – important entries, outstanding tasks or the current week are immediately at hand.
- Hanging files and documents: Classic office use on hanging files, folders or envelopes – the clip holds reliably and gives your filing system a calm, unified look.
- Business cards and receipts: Small notes, business cards or till receipts can be clipped to a notepad or folder without needing tape or staples.
- Deliberately shape the patina: If you want to accelerate oxidation, you can touch the clips occasionally with your fingers – skin oils promote natural tarnishing. If you prefer to keep them shiny, wipe the clips dry after use.
- As a bookmark: Clipped to the edge of a notebook page, the clips also function as a sturdy, slip-proof bookmark.
For Traveler's Notebook Enthusiasts
Brass as a material has a firm place in the Traveler's Company world: the philosophy behind brass accessories is to build things that become more beautiful through use – no throwing away, no replacing. The index clips follow this principle consistently. As an alloy of copper and zinc, brass reacts to touch, air and moisture with a slowly growing oxide layer that gives the material depth. This isn't a flaw – it's the material's actual promise. Within the Traveler's Notebook system, the clips can be combined with leather covers in various stages of ageing – forming a harmonious, organically aged unit of cover, inserts and accessories.
