The Fig Tree Wallet, exclusively crafted from Buttero Leather, is a testament to quality and design. Buttero, a premium full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, is renowned for its distinctive beauty and the rich patina it develops over time. This highly sought-after leather is expertly produced by Conceria Walpier, a leading tannery in Tuscany, Italy.
Key Features:
Overview:
The Fig Tree Wallet embodies exceptional craftsmanship, made from a single piece of the finest full-grain leather. Its minimalist yet highly functional design holds up to 12 cards plus cash. This slim profile ensures versatility, fitting comfortably into most front or rear pockets. The unique stitching technique contributes to a smaller profile compared to other minimalist wallets of similar capacity.
Personalize your wallet by choosing primary and secondary thread colors, allowing you to create a style that's uniquely yours (The primary refers to the stitching along the bottom and secondary refers to the shorter stitching on the side. See photos for examples).
I hand-sew each wallet using the robust saddle stitch method with waxed polyester thread, guaranteeing enduring durability. The inherent character of this top-tier full-grain leather, with its natural folds and marks, only enhances its beauty, developing a unique patina as it ages.

Details:
Buttero leather, from Conceria Walpier in Tuscany, Italy, is celebrated for its distinctive beauty, full-grain quality, and vegetable-tanning process, which allows it to develop a beautiful patina over time.
For stitching, I use Ritza Tiger Thread, a waxed, 100% polyester thread imported from Germany by the Danish company Julius Koch, founded in 1895. This finely braided thread is known for its exceptional strength, durability, UV resistance, and it's perfect compatibility with leather.
Please Note:
The name of the wallet is inspired by the Parable of the Fig Tree, found in Luke 13:6-9.
