Handmade and hand stitched from veg tan reverse horse culatta. It gives each wallet a unique texture, so each piece is one of a kind. Over time, the surface will become polished and glossy; just give it a couple of years to mature.

Unlike the other Boddin wallets the card block here is also made from heavy horse culatta. This makes this piece a bit thicker and heavier, and a bit more special.

It's a compact (~10×10cm) snap wallet that you can attach to a strap, or a belt loop or just put in your pocket.

  • Zipper pouch
  • 3 card slots
  • Cash slot behind the card block

The imperfection on this sample is that holes for grommets were originally punched in the wrong place and were stitched over.

I'm using this one as my daily wallet.

Each item is one of a kind due to the natural full grain texture of leather and the creative process. Everything particular about this item is as it should be.

Quality is a journey

Hand-stitched

Saddle stitch is the strongest seam that can't be replicated by a sewing machine... for sure it's an overkill.

Still the quality comes not from its toughness, but from the process and the journey. First through my hands and then in your own adventures.

My principles and choices

Avant-garde leather

Horse culatta

I'm mesmerized by horse culatta with shell cordovan traces and wrinkles.

It arrives with waxy residue and matte texture to be polished by your hands and develop a smooth shine.

What is horse culatta?

Heritage leathercraft

Made to last

Vegetable tanned full-grain leather is a very particular material. It won't stay brand new and perfect like a heavily coated chrome tanned leather.

Instead it develops character and patina, and this is how it can survive much longer, through changes.
