Fade of the Day – Corter Snap Wallet (7 Months)

We’ve got 99 problems but patina ain’t one. It’s time for Fade of the Day, and vegetable-tanned leather is back with another slice of rich patina, this time in the form of a Corter Snap Wallet, submitted to us by Jacob of San Diego, California.

After just seven months, Jacob’s wallet has evolved from its natural leather tone to a dark, tobacco brown that suits the piece well. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the brass concho snap has even darkened slightly, complementing the now-rugged cast of the vegetable-tanned leather. And as a bonus, indigo dye from raw denim has transferred onto the edges of Jacob’s wallet, staining some of the natural-toned threads in the process.
