Fish Leather Wallet · Dark Turquoise · Black Trim

€129,00

This zip wallet cut from Ambani's newest collection, sewn entirely by hand, lined in black goat leather, with a black fabric trim along the zip, and room for cards, bills, and coins in one compact piece. The grain and pattern of your piece will always be one of a kind.

The wallet comes in Chrysocolla: Ambani's signature shade, shifting between deep blue and turquoise, echoing the waters of Lake Turkana itself, often called the "Jade Sea."

This is where Ira and James Ambani turn what was once a waste product of the local fishing trade into leather with real character. Their workshop employ around 20 people locally, giving them a real perspective. Every piece you buy goes straight back to that team.
