No. 06 — The Bifold Cardholder
Shell Cordovan & Pueblo Leather Bifold Wallet
Constructed from sienna shell cordovan on the exterior with a cognac Pueblo leather interior, hand-stitched with caramel thread.
Shell cordovan is cut from the fibrous shell layer of a horse's hindquarter. This creates a dense, non-porous membrane that makes up a small fraction of the hide, which is why it's produced in limited quantity by a handful of tanneries worldwide. The tanning process alone takes several months, using a slow vegetable-tan and hand-glazing method that gives the leather its signature high, mirror-like shine and rolling, non-creasing wear pattern. Unlike calfskin, shell cordovan doesn't crease with flex. Instead, it develops a smooth, consistent patina and holds its structure over years of daily use, which is why it's regarded as one of the most durable and sought-after leathers in fine goods.
The sienna shell cordovan exterior folds over a cognac Pueblo leather interior, a full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather chosen for its rugged texture and warm color contrast against the cordovan's shine.

Badalassi Carlo Waxy Leather Notebook Cover
Crafted from Badalassi Carlo waxy leather, hand-stitched and available in four thread colorways: Military Green, Caramel, Mocha, and White.
Badalassi Carlo is an Italian tannery renowned for its vegetable-tanned, wax-pulled leathers. These hides are finished with a heavy application of natural waxes and oils that sit on the surface and work into the grain over time. This waxy finish gives the leather a distinct depth of character. Scratches and creases don't damage it, they blend into the surface and become part of the leather's evolving patina. The wax content also makes the hide naturally more resistant to moisture, a practical everyday advantage. Over time and handling, the waxy pull develops a rich, lived-in look specific to this tannery's process.
Sized to hold a standard Field Notes style memo book, with a card/document pocket on the opposite leaf for a notebook, receipts, or extra cards.
Available in your choice of thread: Military Green, Caramel Brown, Mocha Brown, or White.
This item is not sold with the notebook, Only the cover is for sale.
Bespoke Services
Custom Engraving
Make it yours. Every piece can be personalized with initials, a name, or a small custom mark. A lasting detail that turns a handcrafted good into something more personal.
Restoration

Cultivated Craftsmanship
Every piece begins as a custom pattern, and takes shape through hand-stitching and burnishing. I work with full-grain, vegetable tanned leather, using traditional saddle stitching and edge finishing techniques. No shortcuts.
Each product is made 1 of 1. Working in limited runs means every wallet and card holder gets the same attention to detail, from the pitch of the stitching to the bevel of the edge. A closer look reveals the grain, the stitch line, the time it took to get there.
