Opal — Hand-Tooled Cowhide Slim Wallet
Opal is a slim hair-on cowhide wallet, its front panel finished in hand-tooled leather carved with a floral pattern and a small cactus cut into a hide-covered roundel at its centre, closing with a snap button.
Every Opal is cut from a single cowhide, so the hide markings around the cactus roundel are entirely its own — a feature of genuine cowhide, never a flaw, and the reason no two wallets in this range are ever quite the same.

The Wallet
Built for every day
A wallet from the edit begins with genuine leather, built for daily use rather than kept wrapped up for best. It's meant to develop its own character with time in a pocket or bag, not stay pristine on a shelf.
Inside, a zip pocket, credit card and money compartments and a window card slot keep everything organised in an impeccably lightweight, slim profile. The cactus motif is Opal's quiet signature — a single carved silhouette set against the natural hide rather than a repeating pattern, giving the tooling somewhere to rest the eye.
Aftercare
Keep it looking this good
Leather ages best with a little attention. Keep pieces away from direct heat and prolonged sun, wipe spills promptly with a dry cloth, and condition every few months with a leather-safe balm to stop it drying out. Store stuffed with tissue to hold its shape when not in use.

The craft
Leather that's built to age well
Every piece in the Cuerava edit is chosen for genuine leather and construction that holds up — not fast fashion, not disposable. We pick pieces we’d carry ourselves, then let the leather do the rest: it darkens, softens, and gets better with use.
