reverse culatta object dyed bifold wallet
description
our iteration of the classic 8 pocket bifold wallet has been hand cut from a butter soft 2.4mm vegetable tanned culatta leather with a visible layer of subdermal cordovan in 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 tanning is a traditional method of treating the hide using natural extracts such as tree bark, for a truly artisanal finish.
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 classic bifold silhouette, with a large note compartment and multiple card slots to the interior. a riri zipper pocket to the note compartment is adorned with a hand forged and hammered solid .925 sterling silver zipper pull with a 10 hour slow oxidised finish. the is stitched with a tonal hand waxed 0.65mm japanese linen thread.
each piece comes in a handmade leather pouch.
custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
