The Pueblo Long Wallet is a luxurious experience from the moment you pick it up. The design is a geometric take on the classic long wallet. I added some slant to the pockets to give it a contemporary edge, which is a nice juxtaposition against the louche hand and springy texture of the leather.
Speaking of the leather, this long wallet is made from Pueblo cowhide by Badalassi Carlo, an Italian tannery that’s renowned in the luxury community. Pueblo is a traditional Italian veg tan that undergoes a special milling and finishing process to create its signature rustic, matte surface. The unique texture gives projects a soft, hand-rubbed feel that develops into a rich patina over time. Side note, it also smells amazing, with notes of floral and sawdust that combines into an aroma that’s like smelling sunshine itself.
I offset the green Pueblo leather with Wickett and Craig (USA) vegetable tanned tooling leather, which is another one of my favorites. Over time, the Wickett and Craig will also develop a patina, but it will turn a deep, dark brown, while the Pueblo will hold its color. With regular use, the Pueblo Long Wallet will develop rich, earthy tones with a decidedly autumnal color palette.
The Long Wallet features 8 full size car slots, 2 ‘half slots’ that are blocked by the snaps (sorry but I worried that repeated pressure would cause the snaps to tear the card slot after a few years of use). Where was I? Oh yes, it also features two large slip pockets, a zippered pouch with a YKK Excella zipper (their top of the line metal zipper), plus hand stitching, and solid brass Buckleguy snaps (also the top of the line).
On a personal note, I consider this wallet to be the most luxurious item I’ve ever made. The leather is stupid expensive, and I took time and great care to craft this wallet to perfection. I hope you love using it as much as I loved making it.
