The Santino is a Vertical Billfold Minimalist Wallet that packs a full size punch. 100% Handmade & Hand-stitched in Pennsylvania, USA using full grain Italian 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.
Shell cordovan (or cordovan) is a rare, world-famous leather made of a specific layer of hide - "cordovan". The cordovan layer exists only in equine hides and has its maximum thickness on the rump area. One horse hide yields only two small oval pieces of cordovan - two shells. Using the centuries-old method of pure vegetable tannage and hand finishing, the tanning process takes a full six months to complete. The outcome is one of the world’s finest leathers and one that is highly coveted for its unmatched durability and wonderful patina.
