Ivan and I met at the ADX Makers Space in Portland, Oregon. A native Alaskan boy, Ivan Heimbuch's modeling career took him to Cape Town, South Africa where he began his leather working career and launched brand Volstruis . Now he is a master leather craftsman and has been teaching me the ropes of working in the trade.
While traveling the world, I am always shocked to see the same homogenous merchandise from Los Angeles, Zurich, Berlin, to Tokyo. In this tiny corner of the internet we are proud to create a truly unique and proffesionally made product. We designed the leather goods to be as unique as the jewelry while still being functional and sturdy.
The Whale Tail Wally is a collaboration with a local Portland leather maker. We handmade only a few of these beautiful wallets using the best materials, taking care on each step to make the best product possible.
All edges are hand treated, snaps closed with a hidden magnet, interior has a cash pocket, multiple card slots and a phone pocket. The Whale tail pendant is made with sterling silver and clear quartz.
LEATHER
We take care in selecting American grass fed hides sourced in our home of Portland, Oregon. Each bag will have slight imperfections due to the natural qualities that just look better over time. This bag is carefully constructed to last for generations with little to no care needed.
