Hand-Tooled Brown Floral & Star Western Biker Wallet
SKU: 1351
Large carved flowers and scrolling leaves cover both faces of this long wallet, and the background between them is cut away completely. Through every opening you see genuine cobra snakeskin, laid underneath the carved layer. The Hand-Tooled Brown Floral & Star Western Biker Wallet is 4-5 oz vegetable-tanned cowhide, 7.5″ × 4.5″ closed, with a silver-toned star concho on the strap. Inside are ten card slots, two bill compartments and a zippered coin pocket.
Who This Is Actually For
If you want exotic skin that stays in the background — the cobra appears only through the cut-away spaces around the carving. The flowers remain the main design, and the snakeskin fills every gap between them. Best for someone who prefers Western tooling with a hidden exotic layer.
If you ride with a chain — a .925 sterling silver grommet sits at the top of the spine, between the two carved faces. The star concho strap closes the opposite edge, so the chain and the closure stay apart.
If you carry paperwork as well as cards — ten card slots and two bill compartments sit inside a 7.5″ body, so banknotes lie flat. A zippered coin pocket runs across the middle for change and small items.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
The carving follows a traditional Western floral layout. Each large flower has layered petals and a stamped center, and curling leaves connect one flower to the next. Where a carver would normally stamp the background down, this one is cut out entirely.
That openwork is what makes the wallet unusual. The cobra snakeskin sits beneath the carved layer, so its scales show in small irregular windows across both faces and along the strap. Each opening frames a different fragment of the pattern.
A darker strip runs down the spine between the two faces, stamped in a basketweave pattern with scalloped edges. The sterling grommet sits at its top. A dark brown border with cream stitching frames the entire exterior.
The closure strap comes from the back, carries its own carving and cut-outs, and ends in a rounded tip under the star concho. That concho is a five-pointed star inside an engraved scrollwork ring. Its snap stud is set directly into the center of a carved flower on the front.
Inside, the leather is smooth and reddish brown, with no carving at all. Card slots are stacked on both halves, and a zippered pocket crosses the middle. The Indian floral cutwork wallet uses the same openwork technique, with turquoise-colored stones in its flower centers.
The Specs — And What They Actually Mean
- ⚙️ Leather: 4-5 oz vegetable-tanned cowhide, hand-carved with the floral background cut away.
- 💎 Underlay: genuine cobra snakeskin beneath the carving, visible through every opening on both faces and the strap.
- 📏 Size: 7.5″ × 4.5″ closed, a full-size long wallet that keeps banknotes unfolded.
- 💳 Layout: ten card slots, two bill compartments and a zippered coin pocket.
- 🔧 Hardware: a silver-toned star concho on the snap strap and a .925 sterling silver chain grommet at the top of the spine.
- 🌡️ Care: condition the carved cowhide every couple of months, since vegetable-tanned leather absorbs moisture and can dry out after a wet ride.
Questions You're Probably Asking
Which parts of the wallet show the cobra skin?
Both outer faces and the closure strap, wherever the carver cut the background away. The flowers, leaves and stems stay solid cowhide on top. The basketweave spine and the dark brown border around the 7.5″ × 4.5″ outline have no openings, so the snakeskin does not appear there.
What is the pattern on the spine?
A basketweave stamp, pressed into a darker strip of cowhide between the two carved faces. Its long edges are scalloped, which separates it cleanly from the floral panels on either side. The .925 sterling silver chain grommet is set at the top of that strip.
What is on the concho?
A five-pointed star, set inside a round ring engraved with scrollwork. The concho is silver-toned and sits at the rounded tip of the carved strap. Beneath it, the snap closes onto a stud placed in the center of one carved flower on the front.
