The interior and exterior of this fully hand-stitched bifold will be made from the finest Italian vegetable tanned leather from Tempesti. Additionally, a beautiful matte black American Alligator accent will be stitched on the front of the wallet. All edges will be painted to match the leather (or burnished in the case of the natural leather). The edges will also be creased with fine, detailed lines. The reverse side of the exterior panel will be lined with European goatskin leather which features a beautiful, natural texture.
This bifold wallet features nine pockets total - 6 card slots, 2 hidden pockets behind the card slots and 1 cash slot.
Measures 3.5" tall by 4.25" wide.
Three pocket styles are available - Curved, Sloped or Straight (from left to right)
American Alligator has some of the most unique and noticeable texture and pattern of any leather. While most leather goods with this design simply use cowhide embossed with an alligator patter, what I use is genuine alligator sourced from the United States. Due to the irregular shape of the hides and regulations placed on the manufacturing of alligator skins, using this leather can be very expensive, but the results speak for themselves.
Tempesti is known around the world for producing some of the most beautiful, clean and consistent vegetable tanned leather available. Their vegetable tanned cowhide leather is a full grain leather with a smooth finish that comes in many colour, both bold and natural. This leather remains extremely strong and holds its shape even when split down quite thin. For these reasons, this leather is one of the cornerstones of my work.
Every piece that is commissioned though Oak & Honey is made by one pair of hands - stitched by hand, one stitch at a time. If I am not completely satisfied with the final product, it isn't fit for the client. My mission is to craft something that you will carry with pride for years to come.
Proudly handmade in Toronto, Canada.
