an updated version of the long wallet has been hand cut from a butter soft washed and wooden drum tumbled 1.3mm vegetable tanned full grain horse culatta leather with a rotten corpse matte black object dyed finish.
culatta is a special cut combined of the rear just above the cordovan, the belly middles and the hind shanks, offering a dense structure, tight grain and medium to firm temper.
vegetable tanned leather is an ancient artisanal process that hinges on the delicate balance between timing and temperature. like a fine aged whiskey time is key, the careful balance of time allows the natural tannins such as tree bark to infuse, yielding rich colours and unparalleled durability. controlled cooling plays a crucial role in achieving that coveted texture and suppleness you come to expect.
crafted entirely by hand without the use of machines, the wallet features a book like silhouette with a 10cm hand forged iron shank closure. the double layered pages are adorned with a large note compartment, multiple card slots allowing you to hold up to to 12 cards and a riri zipper coin pocket with a hand forged 10hr slow oxidised .925 sterling silver zipper pull.
the wallet has been fully hand sewn with a hand waxed matte black japanese linen thread. a small brand patch to the rear of the coin pocket features an oxidised sterling silver accent.
each piece comes in a handmade leather pouch.
custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
