The Santino in Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan #8

$310.00

The Santino is a Vertical Billfold Minimalist Wallet that packs a full size punch. 100% Handmade & Hand-stitched in Pennsylvania, USA using full grain, world famous Horween Shell Cordovan leather and ritza tiger thread. Built to last a lifetime, this durable leather has a subtle glaze that will develop a beautifully rich patina over time. 

There's no buttons, there's no snaps, no fancy tuck and fold that you feel and can damage your credit cards. Leather naturally conforms. As the wallet breaks in, over a period of a week or so, it will stay closed on its own. When you first receive your new wallet, you may notice that the flap wants to stay up slightly, but give it a week. The more you use it, the softer and more supple the leather will become and will naturally stay closed without the need for uncomfortable snaps or buttons.

Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan® is the art of tanning at its finest. More than just a color, it is a very specific leather, from a particular part of a horsehide. The irregular oval shaped shells are tanned, stuffed, shaved, and then polished – a process taking at least six months. Each shell is slowly steeped in gentle vegetable liquors. The shells are genuine hot stuffed then slicked onto glass frames to dry. Each shell is hand curried and shaved by highly skilled artisans to expose the shell. Dyes are hand rubbed on for a deep aniline finish. Finally, the shells are hand glazed to achieve the rich, glossy look and feel prized by fine craftsmen
