Handcrafted Shell Cordovan Vertical Wallet | Italian Leather Interior

This is a made to order item. As leather is a natural material, your item will be very similar but not necessarily identical to the product photos due to organic variation.

This vertical bifold combines two Italian leathers with plenty of character: Whiskey Shell Cordovan 1786 from Shell Cordovan Toscana Italia on the exterior, paired with Dark Brown Gaucho Oil Buffed from Conceria La Bretagne on the interior.

The Whiskey 1786 shell has a warm, rustic appearance with natural variation across the surface, but still has the smooth, dense feel shell cordovan is known for. The colour sits somewhere between golden brown and whiskey, with darker areas and subtle tonal changes that give the exterior a more lived-in look without feeling rough or heavily textured.

Inside, the Dark Brown Gaucho Oil Buffed adds another layer of character. The leather is intentionally buffed and scratched at the tannery, giving it a slightly distressed surface while keeping the glossy finish and subtle pull-up associated with Gaucho Oil. The result is a dark brown interior with visible texture, tonal variation, and a finish that should continue to change as it is carried.

The vertical layout is designed to stay compact while carrying the essentials. It has three card slots and two hidden pockets, with room for approximately 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 #8 thread in Cigar to complement the warm brown tones of both leathers.
