    General Information

    During our visits to manufacturers, we like to take a look at their collection. Often, we then discover old treasures like this accordion exchange and wonder why they are no longer made. Using our found object as a template, we developed this purse and have it made from our Manufactum leather. A good thing that you get exclusively at Manufactum.

    A lot of space in a small space. Mitwachsend

    The elaborately crafted accordion wallet made of the fine, here open-edged cowhide of our Manufactum leather collection. With five large compartments, it offers plenty of space for bills, ID cards and papers. A zippered compartment secures small change. In addition, there are four small compartments: the dividers are doubled and hold credit cards. Closed the purse with a snap closure.

    Handicraft with the Utmost Care. The Manufactum Leather Collection.

    When it comes to our leather collection, you might recognise a sense of and attention to detail: from selecting the leather to setting the last seam. We have our small leather goods made unlined; therefore, they display the back of the leather, and you find all typical natural irregularities “honestly” recognisable. Plus, they come raw-edged. Originating from German cattle, mainly from southern German regions, the hides get their vegetable tanning in Germany – in slowly rotating oak barrels in a tanning broth with vegetable ingredients. Every addition has its specific effect on the tanned leather: mimosa, the bark tanning agent deriving from the black acacia, and quebracho wood provide suppleness, and the tanning agents of the sweet chestnut contribute to the leather’s beautiful reddish hue. Additionally, you find many articles available imbued in black.

    Drumming for Flexibility. Greasing with Cod Oil and Birch Bark Tar.

    The finishing, i.e. what subsequently happens to the leather that has become tanned in the barrel, makes a big difference to everything common today. To get rid of the brittleness typical for a 1.5-2 mm thick leather after tanning, you have to “soak” and grease it, a process resulting in supple and durable leathers. Since the middle of the 19th century, the ingredient of choice for greasing leather was animal tallow, the so-called tanner’s fat or “dégras”. Not to mention today’s inferior processes, we go back a stage further and resort to the means to which, according to connoisseurs, the legendary old Russia leather owes its reputation: fish oil and wood tar. In the rotating barrel, the ancient fatting agents cod oil and birch bark tar give the leather a lasting suppleness that will come to perfection over time, while the birch bark tar naturally impregnates the leather.
