Minimalist carry, maximum statement

When you truly need a small carry piece but don't want to compromise on its beauty or material, what else is there to do but make it entirely from alligator?

This adaptation of my standard five slot card wallet brings the visual interest with the natural beauty of American alligator. Careful alignment of individual panels allows the scales to blend and flow across the wallet, a testament to the attention to detail that only comes from the eye of a solo artisan. I take a lot of pride in these, and so do their owners.

These wallets can be made with five slots (two card slots and an open center) or just four card slots if you don't need any extra space on the inside. All panels and card slots are fully lined in black French saffiano print goatskin for an exceptionally smooth action when pulling cards. They measure in at roughly 3" x 4" and will slip easily into a front pocket, suit jacket, or anything similar for very low impact carry.

These are made to order and take around 6-8 weeks for completion.

A note about alligator:

Alligator skin is a natural leather product: whether wild grown or farm raise, no two are exactly alike. This means that a great deal of variation in scale pattern and size is to be expected not just between individual hides, but even between pieces cut from the same hide. 

Because of this natural unpredictability, I cannot guarantee a scale or pattern match between wallets. For wallets of this style I usually am using a mix of neck, tail and sacrum scales, but otherwise the shape, size and distribution of these scales will differ from wallet to wallet. As such, exact scale selection and placement of the cut is understood to be left to the maker.
