Red Stingray Leather Cross Biker Wallet - Chain-Ready Gothic Bifold
SKU: R1426
A flared gothic cross of red stingray sits in the front panel, cut into black cowhide and outlined by the leather itself. A pale streak runs diagonally through it, part of the hide rather than paint. Black braided lacing wraps the whole perimeter. The Red Stingray Leather Cross Biker Wallet is a 4″ × 3.5″ bifold. Inside are five card slots, a coin pocket and a sterling grommet for a chain.
Who This Is Actually For
If you carry light and clip to a chain — five card slots and a coin pocket cover a trimmed set. The 925 sterling grommet sits ready at the spine edge. Best for riders who want chain security without a long wallet on their hip.
If you want exotic hide in a small footprint — at 4″ × 3.5″ this is standard bifold size, with the stingray concentrated in one bold shape. The rest is 2.5mm black cowhide.
If you like handwork you can see — the braided edge is laced by hand around every panel, inside and out. Best for anyone who judges a wallet by its edges rather than its logo.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
The decoration is unapologetic, and it lives entirely on the outside. Closed, it faces straight up at you. This is not a wallet that hides its decoration until you open it.
Its arms flare and split at the tips rather than ending square. That shape gives the black outline a lot of curve to follow, and the beaded hide fills each lobe completely.
Beads here read deep crimson, closer to garnet than fire-engine red. A band of pale, larger beads crosses the center diagonally. Stingray hides carry that band along the spine, and it takes dye differently from the rest.
The body leather has a pebbled grain rather than a polished face. Fine scratches disappear into it, which matters on a wallet this small that lives in a pocket with keys.
Heads up: The pale band lands differently on every wallet, since it follows the natural spine of the hide. Yours will not be positioned exactly as the photo shows. That is the nature of the material, not a defect, but it is worth knowing before it arrives.

Questions You're Probably Asking
Is the cross visible when the wallet is closed?
Yes, and prominently. The stingray cross occupies most of the front face, so it's the first thing anyone sees while the wallet sits shut. Only the back panel is plain black. If you want exotic hide that stays hidden until you open it, 1 of the plainer bifolds here suits better.
Does it snap shut, or stay closed on its own?
There's no snap and no closure strap anywhere on it. The fold and the thickness of the 2.5mm cowhide hold it closed, the way a traditional bifold works. That keeps the front face clean, with nothing but the cross and the braided edge on it.
Why does the cross have split, flared tips?
It's cut as a gothic cross rather than a plain Latin one, so each of the 4 arms widens and divides at the end. The shape gives the outline considerably more curve to follow. Wider lobes also display the beaded texture better than narrow straight arms would.
Does the braided lacing continue on the inside?
It does. The same waxed leather braid runs around the interior panels, not just the visible outer edge. The lacing is therefore doing structural work on all 4 sides rather than acting as decorative trim. No raw cut edge remains exposed anywhere.
