Everything in this collection is made from Badalassi Pueblo leather, sourced from a small tannery in Tuscany. It's vegetable-tanned, full-grain, and probably my favourite leather to work with - the texture and the way it ages are genuinely different from anything else I use.
Genuine Badalassi Pueblo Leather, from Italy
Every piece here is made from real Badalassi Pueblo leather - a vegetable-tanned hide out of Tuscany known for its rustic, matte finish and how dramatically it changes with use.
What that means in practice:
- Full-grain Badalassi Pueblo leather
- Vegetable-tanned in Tuscany, Italy
- A natural matte, slightly textured surface
- Some of the most dramatic patina development of any leather I use
- Genuinely unique grain on every piece
Built to look more like yours the longer you carry it.
What Makes This Leather Different
Pueblo starts out with a muted, almost chalky finish. Handle it, carry it, let it catch a bit of warmth and oil from your hands, and that surface starts to burnish and deepen.
Over time you'll see:
- Richer, deeper colour
- More softness and flex
- A natural sheen where it's handled most
- Character that's entirely down to how you've used it
No two pieces end up looking the same.
Made by Hand in My Norfolk Workshop
Every piece here is cut, stitched, and finished by hand on my bench. No factory line, no shortcuts - just this leather, worked the traditional way.
Built for Everyday Use
I make these to be carried, not kept in a drawer - the whole point of Pueblo is that it needs handling to really come into its own.
Good for:
- Everyday carry
- Wallets and card holders
- Keychains and small accessories
- Gifts that'll actually get used
- Anyone who wants their leather to look different at year two than it did on day one
Leather That Changes Fast
Of everything I work with, Pueblo is the quickest to show its age - in a good way. Give it a few months of regular carry and you'll notice a real difference.
A Considered Gift
Badalassi Pueblo pieces make a proper gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Father's Day, Christmas, or anyone who's into leathercraft themselves and will appreciate what they're holding.
