Signature Collection

Our Core Leathers

At Bison Ridge, timeless craftsmanship starts with the world’s finest leathers. Every wallet we create is designed to last, develop character with age, and tell a story that’s uniquely yours. We work exclusively with some of the most respected tanneries in the world. They are renowned for their heritage, skill, and commitment to excellence. Whether it becomes your daily carry or a once-in-a-lifetime heirloom, every piece begins with leather chosen for its unmatched quality.

To build our core lineup, we’ve selected two world-class leathers we trust, love working with, and craft in small, deliberate batches. When a run sells out, restocks take a few weeks. That’s how we keep the quality high and the craft honest. These are the foundations of Bison Ridge—reliable, beautiful materials that embody our commitment to durability, refinement, and American craftsmanship:

Buttero – Conceria Walpier | 🇮🇹

Hailing from the renowned Conceria Walpier tannery in Tuscany, Buttero is a full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather known for its vibrant colors, firm temper, and smooth finish. It’s a favorite among leatherworkers for its consistency, durability, and the rich patina it develops over time. This is the leather we use to make wallets that look better with every carry.

Pueblo – Badalassi Carlo | 🇮🇹

From the legendary Badalassi Carlo tannery — also in Tuscany — comes Pueblo, a unique vegetable-tanned leather with a hand-rubbed, suede-like surface. What makes Pueblo special is how dramatically it evolves: it starts with a rustic, matte texture and gradually transforms into a deep, glossy finish full of character. It’s the perfect leather for those who love seeing their gear tell a story.

Our Specialty Leathers — Limited & Rare

For those who want something truly exclusive, we offer limited-run drops crafted from some of the rarest and most iconic leathers in the world. Each piece is individually numbered, and once the batch sells out, it’s never produced again. These aren’t just wallets. They’re one-time releases.

  • Horween – Shell Cordovan | 🇺🇸

    Based in Chicago since 1905, Horween Leather Co. is an American icon. Their Shell Cordovan is legendary — dense, glossy, and incredibly durable. It’s a leather that takes six months to produce and lasts a lifetime. We occasionally offer wallets made from Horween Shell Cordovan in exclusive, limited drops.

  • Rocado – Shell Cordovan | 🇮🇹

    Italian craftsmanship meets heritage tanning with Rocado, a small, family-owned tannery producing hand-finished Shell Cordovan of exceptional beauty and depth. Every piece of Rocado leather is rich with character, offering something slightly different than Horween — and equally premium.

  • Exotics – 🇺🇸 | 🇮🇹 | 🇫🇷 | 🇯🇵

    On very rare occasions, we release products made from exotic leathers, including ethically sourced alligator, bison, python, and others. These are produced in extremely small quantities and are intended for those who appreciate truly one-of-a-kind craftsmanship.

Our Promise

We don’t cut corners. Every tannery we work with is hand-picked for its heritage, ethical practices, and product quality. We only use vegetable-tanned or premium exotic leathers, never corrected grain, embossed or mass-market hides.

When you carry a wallet from Bison Ridge, you're not just buying a product — you're carrying a piece of leather history in your pocket.
