Wholesale Mk I Cognac

The MK1 Cognac Waxy offers a more seasoned, classic aesthetic right out of the box. Using a 3oz Badalassi Carlo Waxy leather in a rich cognac hue, this edition is designed for those who want a deeper starting point for their patina journey. It combines a sophisticated, earthy tone with the rugged, oil-rich performance the MK1 is known for. The Materials • 100% Badalassi Carlo Waxy (Cognac): This 3oz Italian vegetable-tan is saturated with a proprietary blend of oils and waxes. The Cognac colorway features a warm, reddish-brown base that highlights the natural grain and character of the hide. • Rich Pull-Up Effect: The Waxy finish ensures that as the wallet is handled, the oils migrate within the fibers to create a striking "Pull-up"—areas of tension lighten to a golden tan, creating a dynamic, marbled look. • Tonal Braided Thread: Hand-stitched with a premium, non-waxed matte thread in a complementary earth tone. This ensures the stitching is durable and low-profile, allowing the leather's natural texture to take the lead. • Refined Edges: Each edge is meticulously hand-sanded and burnished to a glassy, natural finish, showcasing the quality of the 3oz leather layers.

The EvolutionThe Cognac Waxy edition starts with a matte, rugged feel and a medium-brown tone.
