5–6 Years In — Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan

Two bifold wallets, both built with black Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan and Buttero leather. One from 2016, one from 2018.

SV01 Bifold Wallet — Made in 2016, Photographed in 2022

Exterior: Black Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan
Interior: Purple and Natural Buttero

Six years of daily use. The black shell has taken on a smooth, rich surface — less glossy than new, but with more depth. Inside, the natural Buttero has shifted from its original pale cream to a warm honey tone. The purple panels have deepened over time.

Exterior: Black Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan
Interior: Natural Buttero

Five years of daily use. The black shell has smoothed out, with a calm, even surface. The natural Buttero interior has gradually darkened to a warm amber, with visible traces of everyday handling across the card slots.
