Cognac Ostrich Bifold — Full-Quill Skin, 8 Card Slots
SKU: 2977
This cognac bifold folds eight card slots, two bill compartments and a full-quill ostrich exterior into 11 × 9.5 cm. The entire wallet weighs 85 grams. Every raised bump on the outside carries a darker dot at its center, the opening a feather quill once grew from. One piece of hide wraps the front, spine and back.
Who This Is Actually For
If your leather gear runs brown — the cognac hide, with darker quill centers, sits naturally beside tan or brown belts, boots and watch straps. Best for a warm-toned everyday carry where black would look out of place.
If weight matters in your pocket — at 85 grams and 11 × 9.5 cm, this is an exotic wallet you can easily forget you are carrying. Best for front-pocket carry on long days.
If you carry exactly the cards you use — four slots stack on each interior panel, eight altogether, with two bill compartments positioned behind them. Best for a settled routine of cards, not an overflowing collection.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
The quill bumps are arranged in loose diagonal rows. Each one rises into a rounded dome with a darker center, and the spacing becomes tighter through the middle of the panel. Between the bumps, the skin displays a network of delicate natural creases.
The exterior is a single, continuous piece. Open the wallet flat and the bumps continue straight across the spine from one face to the other, with no seam at the fold.
The stitching runs a shade lighter than the hide, so a fine pale line traces every edge and both bill compartments. It is visible at close range and disappears into the cognac from a short distance.
Inside, the card panels are cut from the smoother part of the ostrich, with fine lines and an occasional small quill point. A running ostrich and the words "Genuine Ostrich Skin" are stamped into the right panel. The bill compartments are lined in brown fabric with fine stripes.
Compared with the dark brown ostrich bifold, this cognac makes each quill easier to read. The darker center of every bump stands out against the lighter hide, whereas a darker dye lets the bumps register mostly as shadow.

Questions You're Probably Asking
What are the small dots at the center of each bump?
They are follicle openings. Each raised bump on full-quill ostrich marks the position of a feather. The darker dot at its center is the opening the quill left behind. On this cognac hide they appear as small brown points, arranged in loose diagonal rows across both faces of the 11 × 9.5 cm wallet.
How does it compare with the tan brown ostrich bifold?
They share a format: 11 × 9.5 cm, eight card slots, two bill compartments with fabric lining and ostrich card panels. The difference is the hide color and the lining. This one is cognac with brown striped fabric in the bill compartments. The tan brown version uses a beige woven fabric there.
Is the stitching the same color as the leather?
Similar, but not identical. The thread runs one shade lighter than the cognac hide, so it shows as a fine pale line around every edge. Two parallel rows along the top mark the bill compartments. From a short distance, the stitching blends into the overall color.
