Each piece is sealed twice — by a numbered card the maison signs at completion, and by a single Jade Key cut to the piece. With both, every coverage and every warranty pass to whoever next carries the work. This is how the legacy is kept.
The piece is signed; the key is cut. Together they are how the maison knows its own work — and how a work, in time, finds its next keeper without losing what it was given.
Every piece released by the atelier — Prêt-à-Porter or Exquis Maroquinerie — leaves with two things in addition to the leatherwork itself. The first is a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the artisan who closed the final seam and counter-signed by the Creative Director. The second is the Jade Key — a single cut piece of jade, fitted to the piece, that serves as the maison's physical countersign.
Neither alone is sufficient. Together, they are how the maison verifies its own work — and how the work, in time, may move quietly into the keeping of a second owner, a third, a fourth, without ever leaving the ledger.
Three quiet acts, all performed against the same ledger. Verification is open to anyone presenting a certificate number; registration and legacy transfer are held within your private maison account.
The legacy transfer is held within the current keeper's account.
Sign in as the registered keeper to record a transfer to the next owner.
A legacy transfer is the maison's term for the deliberate, recorded passing of a piece from one keeper to the next. It is not a resale: it is a continuation. Done correctly, the new keeper inherits not only the leather but the full original warranty — repair, restoration, the standing right of access to the atelier — provided both seals are presented and verified.
Coverage transferred under this clause is identical to that of the original keeper — lifetime restoration, complimentary annual maintenance, and the standing right of access to the maison — for the natural life of the piece. The clause runs forward through every successive keeper, indefinitely, on the same condition: both seals, every time.
Where a seal has been lost or damaged, the atelier will assess on a case-by-case basis. Write to atelier@zeno-s.com before initiating any transfer in that condition.
If you would prefer to begin the matter in writing — for a lost seal, a contested verification, or a transfer too sensitive for the portal — the atelier accepts inquiries by correspondence.
