Fara Horse Leather Wallet - Olive

INN7fashion Verified independent store

→

Olive horse leather aged to the color of oxidized bronze, folded into a half-moon that fits the hand the way a stone fits a riverbed. The Fara wallet is cut from vegetable-tanned h orse hide and finished by hand with natural waxes that settle into the grain over days of slow curing. The result is a hard, dense surface -- the kind of leather where you feel the animal's resistance in every fold. In olive, the tone sits between dried moss and tarnished metal, shifting subtly in different light. The matte wax finish adds a faint earthen warmth under the fingertips without softening the structure. What makes the Fara distinct is Daniele Basta's refusal of the rectangle. The half-moon silhouette follows a D-shape cut, with multi-gusset bellows inside that expand without distorting the form. Along the front face, a vertical row of 925 sterling silver staples is hand-applied in the Empoli workshop -- each staple set individually through lost-wax cast fittings. The silver catches light in a thin bright line against the dark olive surface, the only ornament on a wallet built entirely around material and form.
