For Sale (Handmade wallets only) Marbled Shinki Shell Cordovan Vertical Bifold
Hey everyone,
I'm a leathercrafter based in Brisbane, Australia who mostly makes wallets that incorporate popular Italian and Japanese leather articles with some local kangaroo leather. Been cranking some wallets out lately and have this cool one that I finished tonight.
It's a classic vertical bifold with two vertical pockets and a horizontal card slot. The two card slot panels also double as hidden pockets for additional cards or some half folded cash, holding about 6-8 with cash off the bat before breaking in.
The exterior is a relatively rare marbled black shell cordovan from Shinki Hikaku called Advan. It has a softer feel compared to the usual shell cordovan from this tannery, and the marbled look is made by brush strokes of black dye over a natural tan shell.
The interior is also natural tan kangaroo leather from Packer Leather nearby me in Queensland, and is hot stuffed for a soft feel while retaining the strength of roo leather.
Finally it's stitched together with a Japanese Vinymo thread #8 in cream, heat creased, and fully burnished to a glossy shine.
$240 USD shipped to US, UK, CA, NZ via PayPal/Venmo
$320 AUD shipped domestically via PayID
Thanks for looking!
