This handcrafted bi-fold card wallet is made from Badalassi Carlo Wax vegetable-tanned leather in Olmo, a rich, warm orange-brown with exceptional depth and character. Sourced from the renowned Italian tannery, this is a true pull-up leather, meaning it’s heavily nourished with oils and will change tone where it’s stressed or handled. The result is a wallet that develops a beautiful, individual patina over time.
The leather is soft to the touch and full of natural markings and rustic character, giving it a unique, rugged elegance. I've used 2 weights of leather to reduce bulk and saddle-stitched it hand using copper Vinymo thread from Japan.
The design features a large, full-width external pocket ideal for banknotes (including US dollars), additional cards or receipts. Inside there are four card slots - the rear pockets are stitched internally preventing cards from slipping lower than intended.
A tactile, practical wallet with a rugged character, built to be used hard, age well, and look better the longer you carry it.
