This card case was made using American alligator, tanned by Amtan (one of the top 5 alligator tanneries in the world), in a Special Congac brown finish and crimson red goatskin inner.
Description:
-Outer: American alligator in a Special Cognac matte brown finish
-Inner: Lined in Crimson Red Sokoto goatskin in natural grain. Sokoto goat is first native tanned in Africa, then sumac tanned in the UK and is highly sought after for both small leather goods and bookbinding.
- All pockets are fully lined in goatskin
-Saddle stitched with 832 Lin Cable, an imported French linen cord which is also used by Hermes.
- The money clip was made so that the marbling of the cognac finish can be seen, and is attached to the rear pocket.
- Front pocket features a window to allow cards to be pushed out easily from the bottom.
- Case snuggly fits 4 business cards, but will lossen up with time allowing more. I prefer to make my cases so that cards are held securely.
- Edging and creasing by hand
- Billfold in the last picture is not included with the sale, it is simply there as a size reference!
Photos of the making of my items can be viewed in my blog lathamhandmade.tumblr.com. Because leather comes to me varying in thickness, I hand skive each piece to a desired thickness before cementing and saddle stitching the finished product. Although it's a long and painstaking process, the result is a thinner wallet fully lined in leather, showing no suede in the pockets. Each wallet I make is designed and made by me.
I only accept Paypal, and CONUS shipping is included, contact me if outside the US for shipping estimate.
