Fish Leather Wallet · Black · Open Finish

A wallet made from something unexpected: fish leather. The exterior is crafted from deep black Nile perch leather in a natural matte finish defined by its distinctive scale pattern. No two pieces are identical.

Inside: traditional Turkana fabric, vibrant and patterned, typical for the communities around Lake Turkana. Soft goatskin adds structure and stability. A handcrafted tassel with subtle bead detail completes the design. Practical, considered, and built to develop character over time.

Buying this wallet goes straight to Ira and James's workshop at Lake Turkana where fishing became a lifeline after years of drought.
