Ready to ship wallet made from Portuguese veg-tanned leather
I recently made this wallet as a challenge to myself to observe my skill progression over the years. It is a design I used to make 7 years ago, see photo for comparison. Made from a single piece of leather it wraps around on itself creating 3 pockets, so room for a bunch of coins and cards.
The entire piece has been hand cut, bevelled, burnished and stitched. With a brass snap fastener to close.
Size Approx:
H 11.5cm W 7cm
Process:
The entire piece is built by hand from my workshop. The leather is measured and cut in order to incorporate the natural markings of the hide. The raw edges are bevelled and burnished using beeswax balm to form smooth strong edges that will wear naturally over time. I use the saddle stitch technique where 2 needles are used simultaneously with a single piece of thread. This creates a very strong bond and the stitch is unlikely to ever unravel.
What is Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
The ancient craft of naturally tanning leather is complex and fascinating. Only natural materials such as tree bark are used to tan the leather, a process which can take several months. Veg-tan leather is beautiful, often displaying the history of life through scars and imperfections. The material will develop a wonderful patina unique to each owner and after years become a treasured object.
