Black Leather Biker Trifold with Red Stingray Cross
SKU: 1465
A red stingray gothic cross lies across the front of this black trifold. A broad band of white pearl beads covers its center and much of its long arm. The short arms curl outward into hooked tips, while the long arm tapers to a point. Around it, the body is deeply wrinkled black shark skin, edged in hand-braided black lacing. The Black Leather Biker Trifold with Red Stingray Cross closes with two .925 sterling silver flame snaps. Closed, it measures 4¾″ × 3⅝″. Inside are nine card slots, a zippered pocket and a full-length bill compartment.
Who This Is Actually For
If you want the pearl to dominate — on this cross, white beads spread across the intersection and continue down the long arm. Red frames the white, not the other way around. Best for anyone who finds a narrow pearl line too understated.
If you carry a complete set of cards — nine card slots and a full-length bill compartment fit inside a 4¾″ × 3⅝″ trifold. A zippered pocket handles coins separately. Best for riders who refuse to leave a card at home.
If texture matters as much as color — the body is ridged and crinkled, the cross is densely beaded and the edges are braided. Three completely different surfaces sit side by side beneath your thumb.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
The shark skin is the first surprise, because it isn't remotely smooth. Deep, irregular wrinkles run across both faces. Under direct light, the ridges catch a gray highlight while the creases between them remain black.
The cross sits inside a narrow border of smooth black leather that follows every curve. Red stingray beads fill the arms, but the center belongs to the pearl. Larger white beads spread across the intersection and extend several beads wide along the long arm. One bead near the middle is noticeably bigger than the others.
Two round conchos at the lower corners function as the snaps. Each one is cast with swirling flame shapes and darkened in the recesses, so the pattern remains legible against the polished high points. A grommet on one side edge accepts a chain.
Inside, the leather changes to black pebbled cowhide. The middle panel stacks vertical card slots, a side panel carries angled slots, and the right panel holds a pocket with a vertical zipper. The cover's inner face carries the snap studs.
Because it's a 4¾-inch trifold with nine slots and a zippered pocket, it folds into a short, relatively thick block. US bills fold once to fit, since a 6.14-inch note is longer than the body. That shape suits a back pocket or chain carry considerably better than a slim front pocket.

Questions You're Probably Asking
What is the black body made of?
Black shark skin, recognizable by its deep, irregular wrinkles and ridges. Only the cross is red stingray, set inside a narrow border of smooth black leather. The interior behind all nine card slots is black pebbled cowhide, and hand-braided black lacing binds the edges together.
Why does so much of the cross look white?
Because the stingray was cut across the hide's pearl. The pearl is a cluster of larger, paler beads that grows along a stingray's back. On this wallet it covers the intersection of the arms and continues several beads wide down the long arm. Only the three hooked arms and the tip remain fully red.
Does this cross come in other colors?
Yes. The same gothic cross on a black shark skin trifold appears in two other versions. One uses red stingray with only a single narrow row of pearl beads along the long arm. The other uses blue stingray. All three close with two flame conchos and finish their edges in braided black lacing.
