This wallet is a cards'n'coins wallet designed after we some survey feedback from our clients on what they would like to see next. I've never seen anything quite like it elsewhere.
Basically, there are three generously sized card slots on one side and a slick little pocket/pouch on the reverse. This pouch can hold coins or it can hold business cards, folded up cash, or folded receipts. Really, it can hold whatever you want.
“Full Leather Bilt” is the new design method affecting most everything I do with Braithwaite going forward. What does it mean? It means that there are no more silk linings. All surfaces are now leather. Why? Because only leather is as strong as leather.
The exterior cover and card slots of the wallets are made from an Italian bridle leather. Bridle leather is commonly used for saddlery because of its added water resistance. The slight water resistance is added through a process called, ‘hot stuffing’ where oils, waxes, and tallows are heated to just the right temperature which the leather is then submerged into to absorb them.
The interior lining of the wallet is made out of un-dyed, un-treated Italian ‘Vachetta’ leather. This is as natural as leather gets. Nothing is applied to this leather once it has been tanned. The result? The most age-able leather you can get. This leather will absorb everything that touches it: oils from your hand, any dirt on your money, sunlight, and character. As you touch it, you’ll notice that it absorbs you, quickly becoming unique to you. If you leave it in the sunlight, it will become darker and richer in color, over the years becoming a deep, golden brown.
Our wallets are made by a family-run leather business located in Kolkata, India. This family-run business reached out to us in 2010 and we've been working together throughout 2011 to come up with a products of unique, hand-crafted quality. The production of wallets is overseen by Furkhan Aalangayam of the Aalangayam family, who is himself a skilled leather worker. I'm proud to be working with Furkhan and his family.
