Handcrafted Marbled Shell Cordovan Wallet - Slim Leather Cardholder

This minimalist vertical flap wallet is an original design made for those who want to carry a good amount of cards and cash in a slim package. This is made with a beautifully rustic, but also modern, vegetable-tanned Shell Cordovan from the Shell Cordovan Co. in Tuscan Italy. Shell cordovan is a rare, vegetable-tanned leather made from a specific membrane under the horse rump. Known for its dense, smooth surface and natural sheen, it’s prized for its durability and the way it develops a rich patina over time. Each piece is unique and produced in limited quantities, making it a favorite among leather enthusiasts. This shell was made in a tanning process heavily inspired by centuries-old Russian tanning methods, and was coated in antibaterial wood tar that give it a smokey aroma. This wallet is made with minimal, but elegant stitching, and has an lovingly finished edge.

Features:

- Two main internal compartments for cards, and a quick access side-pocket on the back for either cash, or 1-2 cards. Fits up to 6-8 cards and some cash comfortably, but will handle more once broken in.
-Entirely made of legendary shell cordovan leather
