Buttero Leather Flap Wallet – Handmade Minimalist Vertical Cardholder

Note: This is a made-to-order item. Leather is a natural material, so colour, grain, and surface character may vary slightly from the examples shown.

This vertical flap wallet is one of my original minimalist designs, made for carrying a useful amount of cards and cash without the bulk of a traditional bifold.

It is made entirely from Buttero vegetable-tanned leather from Conceria Walpier in Tuscany, Italy. Buttero is known for its smooth, firm surface, rich colour, and clean structure, making it particularly well suited to small leather goods. It starts relatively crisp and gradually softens and develops more character as it is carried.

The wallet is built from one large piece of leather wrapped around a central divider, creating two main card compartments. The securing flap also doubles as a quick-access side pocket for folded or unfolded cash, a favourite card, or anything you want within easy reach.

The design keeps the construction simple while still offering plenty of practical capacity, comfortably holding around 6–8 cards plus cash.

Each wallet is hand-cut, saddle-stitched, bevelled, and burnished, with minimal stitching and clean finished edges that keep the focus on the leather.
