Leather Shipibo Wallets

Crafted in Peru and designed by Jason Bear of Casa de Oso in Pisac, these leather wallets bring together Sacred Valley leatherwork and traditional Shipibo textile art in a compact, functional form.

Each piece is handcrafted from leather and finished with authentic Shipibo embroidery, creating a striking balance between everyday utility and artisan expression. The embroidered designs, known as Kené, form part of the traditional visual language of the Shipibo-Konibo people of the Peruvian Amazon, with geometric pathways associated with harmony, connection, healing, and balance.

Made slowly and in small quantities, each wallet carries its own variation in pattern, colour, and handwork. Some pieces are also stamped with the Casa de Oso mark, a signature of Jason Bear’s collaborations with local artisans in Peru.
