What is a Prototype Wallet?
Prototype Items are the first drafts of our craft — early versions of our signature leather goods, created in the process of refining and perfecting our skills and techniques. Prototype items may show slight cosmetic imperfections, but are fully functional and made from the same premium materials as our finished products. Offered at a reduced price, Prototype Items are a unique opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted leather piece at exceptional value.
The biggest issue with this Essex Bifold prototype is the thickness of the card slots, which gives the wallet a slightly thicker profile. There are also some imperfections in the edge work, and in general the build is just a liiiiiittle bit sloppy, but hey—that’s what prototypes are for!
About Horween Essex Leather
Horween is one of the most well-known tanneries in the United States, supplying leather for high end boots, shoes, bags and accessories for some of the biggest names in the industry. Essex leather is a full grain veg-tanned leather that marries both new and cenuries-old tanning methods. Essex starts its life as a full vegetable tan made with Horween’s traditional Shell Cordovan tanning liquors, then it’s treated with a mix of fats, oils, and greases to make the leather durable, soft, and smooth. This #93 Brown Essex has a nice shine, with a soft, smooth hand that feels simultaneously luxurious and highly durable.
