Vegetable-tanned leather darkens where hands touch it and where light reaches it. Two identical wallets look nothing alike after a year, and that is the point.
01 — Hide
3.5 mm vegetable-tanned shoulder. It holds a burnished edge and takes a patina.
02 — Thread
Waxed linen, saddle-stitched. If one stitch fails the seam does not unzip.
03 — Hardware
Solid brass, no plating. It dulls with use instead of flaking.
Choose a piece and start the patina.
