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.

Sienna shell cordovan exterior, cognac Pueblo leather interior
One-of-a-kind, made from a genuine recycled baseball glove.
This notebook cover started its life as a well-worn Nokona baseball glove. With this project I wanted to keep the branding, the original lacing holes, and the natural texture and patina the leather earned on the field. I paired the reclaimed glove leather with cognac Pueblo leather and a green waxy leather accent panel, hand-stitched together with white thread using a baseball-stitch pattern that nods to where the material came from.
Because it's built from a repurposed glove, this cover is completely unique.
Details:
Materials: Reclaimed baseball glove leather (Nokona), cognac Pueblo leather, green waxy leather accent
Thread: White, hand-stitched
One-of-a-kind - no cover is identical due to the nature of the reclaimed material
A note on the leather: Because this cover is made from an upcycled glove, you may see original stitch holes, branding, and natural wear characteristic of a leather ball glove. This isn't a flaw, it's part of what makes the piece one of a kind.
If you are looking for a commissioned project with your own glove, reach out to me directly and I will help to accommodate whatever your looking for!

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
Sensitive repair and re-finishing to breathe new life into cherished objects.
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.
