Peruvian Vegetable Tanned Alpaca
Leather
Wallet is handmade using 100% “Guilt Free” Suri Alpaca Leather.
Peruvian Alpaca Leather has always been recognized for its
beauty, depth and resilience to wear. The tanning process takes several weeks
in which the leather is hand rubbed to bring out its own unique character.
Prized by the Incas, Alpaca leather has been used for
hundreds of years.
The leather is then bench cut and the pieces are assembled
by hand. The wallets are sewn using the same tradition and care in
craftsmanship as they were a hundred years ago. The only difference today is
that the thread used is a polyester marine grade industrial thread.
Absolutely the highest quality available in these
modern times. With its beautiful Leather detail, this wallet is truly a one of
the kind, piece. Guaranteed to serve its owner well for many years.
