the card case has been hand cut from a butter soft full grain washed and tumbled 1.3mm vegetable tanned natural horse culatta leather with a light grey object dyed finish offering an array of grey nuances. 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.
crafted from a single piece pattern without the use of machines, the cardholder features three compartments, one at the rear with our open seam construction and a secondary card slot behind the zipper pocket allowing you to hold up to 16 cards as well as folded notes. the zipper pocket features a riri m4 10cm zipper with a hand made 10 hour slow oxidised .925 sterling silver zipper pull. a tonal hand waxed 0.65mm japanese linen thread has been used for the overlocked sides and the open seam construction to the rear interior pocket.
a custom .925 sterling silver buckle closure to the front has been slowly oxidised over a 10hr period and is fastened with a wrap around strap that has a space at the rear to attach to a belt loop or bag strap.
each piece comes in a handmade leather pouch.
custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
