The Byfold card holder is made in Scandinavian salmon leather. This colour, described as Himalayan, follows the natural shade of the salmon which is lightly coloured on the stomach and becomes darker on the back. It is a simplistic design that lets the leather speak for itself.

Master of simple skills
- • Daniel works with a pure by-product from the fish industry
- • He combines the elegance of salmon leather with minimalistic design
- • He loves the simplicity of products
Daniel Ankarstrand is a craftsman and the owner of Kristian Eddé. The brand stands out for its products made of durable salmon leather with Scandinavian minimalist design. His career was however not always this clear. He spent years as a family therapist, and it was only after his mother-in-law bought him an unattractive iPad cover that the fashion-conscious craftsman resolved to make a better one himself. He uses salmon skins, a waste product from the Norwegian fishing industry, as a form of leather. Not only does this satisfy his aesthetic calling, but it is also environmentally conscious. Rather than considering salmon skin to be a substitute for luxury leather, Daniel is adamant that it is far more luxurious and exotic.
