Fara Horse Leather Wallet - Black

A vertical line of 925 sterling silver staples runs down the front of this wallet like a surgical suture holding two halves of leather together. The Fara is built from vegetable-ta nned horse leather with a hard hand feel -- the kind that pushes back when you fold it and holds a crease long after you let go. In black, the surface absorbs light completely: matte, flat, dense. No shine, no reflection, just depth. The wax finish adds a dry, faintly resinous warmth to the surface, and over months of pocket wear the leather will develop friction paths and grain shifts unique to how you carry it. The D-shape silhouette breaks from the rectangle that every other wallet defaults to. Inside, a multi-gusset bellows construction expands to hold cards and notes without forcing the leather open. The sterling silver staples along the front are hand-applied -- each one set individually in Daniele Basta's Empoli workshop using techniques borrowed from jewelry rather than leatherwork. The silver reads cold and bright against the black hide, a deliberate interruption in an otherwise unbroken surface.
