Exterior: Rocado Blue Shell Cordovan. Prized for its glass-like finish and incredible durability. Unlike standard leathers, Shell Cordovan does not crease—it ripples—ensuring the exterior remains sleek and refined for a lifetime.
Interior: Badalassi Carlo Natural & Blue Shell. The interior features a "Natural" pull-up leather that provides a warm, honey-toned contrast to the deep blue accents.
Stitching: Hand-sewn using a matte blue braided thread. The non-waxed texture provides a clean, precise stitch line that lets the luster of the Shell Cordovan take center stage.
Signature ID Window: Features a thumb-slide for easy card removal, framed by the Schaefer Atelier "Small Batch" engraving.
Capacity: 4 dedicated card slots plus the ID window. Designed to hold 10-12 cards comfortably plus folded cash.
Construction: 100% hand-saddle stitched. This traditional technique creates a durable bond that machine-made alternatives simply cannot match.
Because the MK1 uses premium, high-density vegetable-tanned leathers, it will feel firm out of the box.
Days 1-14: The card slots will be snug. We recommend starting with 1 card per slot.
Days 15-30: The fibers in the Badalassi Carlo will begin to soften, and the "pull-up" oils will migrate, allowing the wallet to mold specifically to your carry.
Year 1+: The Blue Shell Cordovan interior will develop a deeper, darker luster, while the exterior Natural Badalassi will transition from a light tan to a rich, honey-brown "heirloom" patina.
