Oh, veg-tan natural leather, may we write an ode to thee? Your lustrous patina graces us again, and we had to make you our Fade of the Day! Thanks to Henry Bradley of San Francisco for making it possible by sharing pics of his Tanner Goods Natural Utility Bifold wallet.

The leather on this wallet started out a pale color and has now transformed into a deep, rich caramel. It took two years of regular use in Henry’s back pocket, nothing more, nothing less.

This wallet hasn’t needed any repairs and it shows; look at how well that stitching has kept together! There’s even just the slightest hint of indigo dye transfer on it, too.
