Origin & Inspiration
The dragon, favoured and revered, dominates medieval imagination as a symbol of chaos, temptation, and spiritual trial. This design draws from illuminated bestiaries, where dragons marked thresholds between sacred and profane, order and wilderness. Drawn from a 12th-century manuscript, this piece embodies the serpentine power and enduring mystique of the Western dragon: an ageless symbol of vigilance and defiance.
Artisanal Method
The motif is hand-tooled using a custom cliché, developed from historical and stylistic manuscript references to preserve fine ornamental traits. The exterior is hand-tooled in Italian vegetable-tanned leather, dyed in deep mahogany with high-contrast highlights. Inside, contrasting green and brown leathers form six card slots and two larger compartments for folded bills or documents. Saddle-stitched with olive waxed linen thread, then polished and burnished by hand for durability and nuance.
Selected Materials
Each Western Dragon Card Holder is made-to-order. Every piece carries subtle variation, shaped by handcraft and time. It is hand-tooled and hand-finished using 100% Italian vegetable-tanned leather. It is sourced from Walpier and Badalassi and certified by the “Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetale”. Each card holder is saddle-stitched with waxed pure linen thread, ensuring durability and artisanal precision. A certificate seal from the Consortium is included with every piece, attesting to the authenticity and origin of the leather. The leather softens and darkens, developing a rich, personal patina. You may request custom dye tones, thread colours, or inner leather finishes to reflect your preferences.
