In an era of fast production and fleeting trends, true craftsmanship has become rare. At Throwing Doubles, we believe modern luxury isn’t defined by excess, it’s defined by intention, restraint, and longevity.
Each piece we create is guided by five core elements: Craftsmanship, Quality, Personal Expression, Connection, and Presence. Together, they form the foundation of everything we design, and everything that we do, from our handmade leather backgammon boards to our travel card sets.
This is not just our design philosophy. It’s how we think about time, objects, and the rituals that bring people together.
Craftsmanship: Made by Hand, Meant to Last
At Throwing Doubles, craftsmanship is not a marketing phrase, it is the starting point.
Every piece is handmade in small runs using premium Italian leather sourced from Florence and finished through local production in Los Angeles. From cutting and stitching to assembly and embossing, each step is handled with care and precision.
We believe luxury should be felt in the hand, not rushed through a factory. Our products are designed to age beautifully, carrying the marks of use rather than chasing perfection. These are objects meant to be lived with, traveled with, and passed on.
Quality: Restraint Over Excess
Quality, to us, is not about embellishment, it’s about thoughtful construction and longevity.
Every design decision is made with use in mind: materials chosen for durability, proportions refined for travel, and finishes intended to improve over time. Our games are designed to be played, packed, and revisited year after year.
True quality doesn’t announce itself loudly. It reveals itself slowly, through familiarity, reliability, and endurance.
Personal Expression: Objects That Adapt to You
No two Throwing Doubles pieces are exactly alike, and that’s intentional.
Through subtle personalization, color, texture, and material choices, each piece becomes a reflection of its owner. Rather than prescribing how an object should be used, we design games that adapt to their environment and the people who use them.
From monogrammed boards to custom colorways created for hotels and brands, our pieces are designed to feel personal, not performative.
Connection: Designed to Bring People Together
Connection sits at the heart of Throwing Doubles.
Our pieces are designed to create moments of shared experience; between friends, partners, families, or strangers. Through play, objects become rituals. Time slows. Conversation unfolds naturally.
In a world that often prioritizes speed and screens, we believe in designing for presence and togetherness.
Presence: Modern Luxury Is Time Well Spent
Throwing Doubles is an invitation to slow down.
We design for moments without urgency, moments of attention, conversation, and intention. Our games exist to create space: space away from distraction, space for interaction, and space for time well spent.
This is modern luxury as we define it: grounded, intentional, and fully felt.
The Five Elements of Craftsmanship guide every Throwing Doubles piece we create. More than objects, our designs are meant to become part of your rituals — carried across destinations, shared across tables, and returned to again and again.
Luxury, to us, is not about accumulation. It’s about meaning.
