A wallet seems one of those sacred things. My first was given to me as a gift by my father, from which I opened my first bank account. It was a true right of passage. Its taken pride of place in my back pocket for nearly fifteen years and the leather holds everything scar and indentation. There are certain qualities that a wallet should fulfill: ergonomic, tactile and strong. We believe we have found a brand that understands and honours these modest accessories.
Produced from free roaming cattle hide
The brand are MAKR Carry Goods, a small collective of artisan craftspeople based in Florida. By working with their hands, drawing at 1:1 and building prototypes, they approached the task with a more visceral approach which directs the product down a user driven route. They stain the leather, laser etch each piece, build prototypes, edge paint, buff and wax the finished pieces, and apply hardware like buttons, snaps and straps. Makr was founded under the premise that they would craft every aspect of the final product. Everything is made in small batches, so you can bet your bottom-dollar that Joe Bloggs in I.T. won't be carrying the same as you.
It does not finish with wallets, however, they are dedicated to applying this philosophy to all areas of carry goods, so we will also be stocking the MAKR unisex tote bags
This really demonstrates the attention to detail and appreciation of material.Cotton duck with deer tanned cowhide accent strip, heavy cotton webbing folded handles and strap with cotton duck binding, gunmetal snaps, small snap hook for keys or wallet attachment, laser etched interior suede tag.
Intended originally for the Japanese market, we are one of the first retailers to bring these great goods to the UK market and we're so excited to be working with them. They should be with us in the next couple of weeks so keep your eyes peeled when they hit our online store.
