DISCLAIMER : Edition 15 is limited to just 1000 units, produced with a new production technique. This incredible material was more limited than originally estimated and as a result production of these tags began with /2000 engraved as opposed to 1000. We strive to accurately depict the exclusivity of our products, and as a result the remainder of the tags were engraved with 1000, while the already delivered packaging was reprinted and replaced. Due to the limited nature of the material we will proceed with the sale of those engraved with /2000, however they will be shipped out last.
