Ballad: Turquoise

In poetry, a ballad is a narrative song consisting of 4-line stanzas, or quatrains. Our Ballad cardholder uses the theme of "four" just as our Quatrain, but unlike the Quatrain bifold, the Ballad is a completely flat. Boasting 4 card slots and one middle pocket for cash or receipts, the Ballad is for those who want to make the most of a simple design. Note: this beautiful turquoise Maya leather has to be felt (and smelled) to be believed. With cloudy, buffed swirls and a slightly grippy texture, Maya patinas quickly with use and will darken over time to reflect the bumps, wear, and comfort of life. Our cardholders use the finest full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather from Tuscany and feature skillful saddle-stitching and burnished edges. See information below for tannery ("conceria" in Italian) provenance and the colors and names of leather articles used.
