Handmade and hand-stitched from vegetable-tanned reverse horse culatta, each wallet features a unique texture — no two are alike. Over time, the white areas will gradually fade, and the surface will develop a rich polish and glossy patina. Just give it a couple of years to mature beautifully.

The card block is crafted from green vegetable-tanned shell cordovan split — a split leather topped with a layer of shell.

Additional features include a Cobrax snap button and a heavy-duty Excella zipper on the pouch, paired with a solid brass bow shackle sourced from Taiwan.

The zipper pouch also has extra slots for cards or an AirTag, made from vegetable-tanned goat leather sourced from Italian designer deadstock.

This is a compact (~10 × 10 cm) snap wallet you can attach to a strap, hook onto a belt loop, or simply slip into your pocket.

  • Zipper pouch with additional slots
  • A short strap with a shackle
  • 4 card slots
  • Cash slot behind the card block

This is a prototype — I’m currently exploring ways to improve my favorite wallet design. That means there’s a discount on this one.

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.
