Not all leather wallets are created equal. At Dark Forest, we use Hermann Oak full-grain leather, a name trusted by saddle makers and craftsmen since 1881. Why? Because it’s the best.
Hand-Dyed for a Richer Patina
Unlike factory-dyed leather, we hand-dye each wallet individually in our Portland workshop. This isn’t just for looks—hand-dyed leather absorbs color differently, allowing it to develop a deeper, more unique patina over time. The result? A wallet that doesn’t just hold your cash—it tells your story.
Built to Age, Not to Wear Out
Mass-produced wallets are often coated in plastic finishes that crack and peel. Our vegetable-tanned Hermann Oak leather is different. It starts firm, softens with use, and darkens beautifully as it picks up the oils from your hands—aging like a well-worn baseball glove.
The Dark Forest Difference
Each wallet is cut, dyed, and stitched by hand using traditional techniques that have been around for generations. No shortcuts, no gimmicks—just honest craftsmanship that lasts.
