About Helsaya
To create unrivalled impact and lasting partnerships with your present day superyacht clients, consider the opportunity of gifting the perfect tailor made momento from this extremely rare bounty of sunken Russia leather from the Helsaya range.
In a world of extravagance and opulence the Metta Catharina sank with her cargo off the coast of Cornwall in a fearsome storm in 1786. She took with her exquisite Russia leather that lay preserved on the sea bed for 200 years.
In 1973 the wreck was exposed and the unique goods were reclaimed. Unbelievably, this incomparable leather had been resistant to water and was perfectly preserved still displaying its diamond-cut hatching.
The 18th Century sunken Russia leather, from the reign of Catherine the Great’s Russian Empire, has unequalled historical value and has become mythical in the exclusive gift market. Helsaya’s master artisans, based in Mayfair London, hand produce every individually designed accessory to order. Each product can be custom finished to display your requirements for any occasion in the build of a superyacht.
