Natural tan and bourbon vertical bifold – Italian veg-tan

This vertical bifold is a compact everyday wallet made entirely from Italian vegetable-tanned leather. It combines a natural tan Gaucho Oil exterior with an Iroko Bourbon interior, both from Conceria La Bretagne in Tuscany, giving the wallet a warm two-tone look with plenty of depth and character.

Gaucho Oil has a smooth, glossy finish with a rich pull-up effect that gives the leather subtle tonal variation as it bends and moves. The natural tan exterior keeps the wallet bright and classic, while the darker Iroko Bourbon interior adds contrast without making the overall look feel too busy.

The vertical layout is designed to stay slim while still carrying the essentials. It has three card slots and two hidden pockets, with enough room for around 6–8 cards from the start plus notes folded once.

Every piece is hand-cut, saddle-stitched, heat creased, bevelled, and burnished by me in Brisbane, Australia. The edges are polished to a smooth gloss, and the wallet is stitched with Japanese Vinymo MBT thread in Cigar to complement the warm tones of the leather.
