Avancorpo vertical flap wallets | Italian veg-tan leather pouches
Note: This is a made-to-order item. Full grain leather has natural variation in colour and surface character, so each wallet will be similar to the examples shown but not identical.
This vertical flap wallet is one of my original minimalist designs, made to carry a useful amount of cards and cash without the bulk of a traditional bifold.
It’s constructed from a large piece of Avancorpo leather from Shell Cordovan Toscana Italia, wrapped around a central divider to create two main card compartments. The flap keeps everything securely closed while also doubling as a quick-access pocket for folded or unfolded cash, a favourite card, or anything you want within easy reach.
Avancorpo has a rustic, natural surface with plenty of tonal variation and visible character. It gives the design a slightly more relaxed feel than a perfectly smooth leather, while still being a full-grain vegetable-tanned leather that should continue to develop more depth with use.
Despite the simple construction, the wallet has plenty of practical capacity. It comfortably holds around 6–8 cards plus cash, while remaining compact enough for everyday carry.
Each wallet is hand-cut, saddle-stitched, bevelled, and burnished, with minimal stitching to keep the focus on the leather itself.
