A wooden desk accessory with a racing design, inspired by the Jaguar D-Type

The art of opening your mail with British racing soul

Designed for refined gentlemen drivers who truly value iconic design and masterful craftsmanship, this Jaguar D-Type letter opener is handcrafted from rare woods (American walnut, elm, olive ash). It carries the tactile warmth of a workshop, the elegance of the material, and the exacting precision of artisanal technique. Its natural oiled finish enhances every veins - revealing what machines can’t reproduce: cachet.

Measuring approximately 17 cm, it fits in the hand like the gearshift of a Le Mans prototype. Balanced, robust, and unmistakably refined, it slips beneath the envelope like a D-Type cutting through the Mulsanne straight. Whether your hands are those of a collector or a craftsman, it adapts to your grip with poise - without fragility, without excess.

And because an object that evokes a three-time Le Mans winner deserves more than a drawer, each opener comes in its own full-grain leather case, inspired by vintage Jaguar tool rolls - a quiet nod to pit crews, hood straps, and the subtle tension before a flag drops.

Why is this Jaguar D-Type letter opener more than just a desk accessory?

Because you don’t just collect cars - you live with them, even beyond your garage. You believe in beauty that endures, especially in the smallest gestures. True elegance doesn’t shout - it’s sculpted, purposeful, and quietly unforgettable.

Offer it, display it, pass it on : The Jaguar D-Type Letter Opener is not just a tool.
It’s a fragment of British motorsport legend, quietly installed where your ideas take shape. A daily ritual for those who know that the spirit of Le Mans doesn't only live on the track - it can live in your hand.

  • About the Jaguar D-Type : the machine born for Le Mans

    Designed exclusively for racing, the Jaguar D-Type was launched in 1954 and marked a technical revolution: aeronautically inspired monocoque, sharpened aerodynamics and the now iconic rear stabilizer fin. Powered by the famous XK 6-cylinder engine, it achieved straight-line speeds of up to 290 km/h - a feat for its time.

    It won three consecutive Le Mans 24 Hours (1955, 1956, 1957), crushing the competition with its reliability and formidable efficiency. The “long nose” version, developed for high speeds, reinforced its mythical status. Produced in just 71 examples, some of which were converted into XKSSs for road use, it became an absolute grail for collectors.

    Bought by racing driver Duncan Hamilton or driven by Mike Hawthorn, the D-Type combines purity of line with sporting glory, making it one of the most desirable Jaguars of all time.

About the craftsman.

The cabinetmaker who carves wood into the bodywork of legends

The craftsman shapes wood in the same way that others restore classic cars: with precision, uncompromising attention to detail and an immense tenderness for timeless forms.

Son of a craftsman, he discovered the world of wood at a very early age in his father's workshop, where he developed a passion for the material and learned to understand and respect it. With a joiner's CAP and cabinetmaker's CAP in his pocket, he became an accomplished craftsman, renowned for his expertise.

In 2020, he founded his company to bring together his two passions: wood and cars. Bugatti, Porsche, Chevrolet, Ford, Jaguar, Delahaye, Maserati ... His collection of automotive décorations & art furniture, limited edition pieces in solid wood, leather and metal, are entirely handcrafted in France, from the initial sketch to the final prototype.

It results in a style that is retro, noble and daring, transforming each piece of furniture & automotive decorations into a one-of-a-kind automotive collectible.
