The first sample version of the new cardholder design!

This version has soft, fluid lines, and the pockets are slightly more generous—each one fits two cards comfortably, for a total of six. Still snug enough to hold everything securely. However it's a rugged and heavy-duty wallet that should serve you for years and years.

Contrasting stitching on the black side uses thick waxed thread at a 5mm pitch, giving it a rugged edge. It complements the tough yet flexible white horse culatta on the back and the thinner, durable full-grain calf leather on the front.

Both leathers come from tanneries in Santa Croce sull'Arno, Tuscany.

White leather: dirty white reverse horse culatta, shell cordovan side, aluminium aldehyde tanned for its unique grunge look.
Black leather: Italian vacchetta, full-grain veg tan calf shoulder from La Perla Azzura.
Both leathers will develop patina over time.

Please note, that samples and protoypes on sale may have small imperfections and store the history of my design process. All samples are sold at a discount.

All leather items are hand-stitched and handmade without any machines from the most amazing materials. Traditional veg tan leather, deadstock Italian leather, glass glazed horse shoulder, horse culatta and shell cordovan. You can read more about the horse leather in the blog.
