May 19, 2022 2:57 AM

I made this using cobalt blue horween leather and chestnut Sedgwick bridle leather. What do you think?

Think? I think I want one to replace the hair ties I've been using

Are you literally a wallet maker? That looks professionally done. Great work!

It’s been a hobby for a long time. I am just a leather crafter. I make wallets and other things.

Oh that is wonderful! I only recently started making leather crafts and this is beautiful! What weight of leather did you use?

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That’s in the 1.0mm range with selective skiving.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Wow, well it looks amazing. Skiving 1mm chrome tan (I think it's that at least) without over-cutting takes a tremendous amount of skill...

My dad got me a canvas wallet when I was like, 10 or so. I'm nearing 32 and still am using it, even though it's beat to shit.

Checked your website, quality work. Other commenters are right, you could easily sell at faires/festivals/etc if you were so inclined.

I've been looking for a well-crafted wallet like this. All the leather wallets I've found in person are too big for girl pockets. Do you >

make wallets with RFID protection and a pocket that can discreetly hold a spare pantyliner? It's impossible to find a wallet meant for >

Sounds like an interesting custom wallet. Send me a message on instagram. Let’s figure it out. Instagram.com/CustomLeatherAndPen

I wish I had it. Just what I have been looking for - a small, lovely thing to hold my cards. Not a wallet, a card holder. is it for sale?

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That one is not for sale, but I make them. CustomLeatherAndPen.com

I wish someone could make a battery pack case with room for 3 credit cards. I would SOOO buy it! (S10+)

This is a interesting idea. Send me a dm and a sketch with dimensions on instagram… instagram.com/CustomLeatherAndPen

I wish i had the brains. Think Punkjuice battery case with a failsafe place for cards.

You’d do well selling at artisan festivals. I’ll take locally made custom leather goods over shitty pricey brands every day of the week.

I’ve thought about this, but its pretty intimidating.

Just don't go into it with visions of grandeur, it took years to get our product going.

Putting yourself out there for judgement can be scary, but this looks like quality work. We are barometer for you now get yourself out there

Don't start with Spike's Rowdy Artisan Free For All. Instead pick one with a less intimidating name, like Blue Crown Spring Arts Festival.

I’d buy one! I’d looove to have one for my oyster travel card! Would you make one for me if I paid you? :) doesn’t have to be perfect!

Nice work but I'm more envious of your ability to get by with so few cards and bits of cash. I seem to end up with more cards as I go.

Neat. I would love a wallet that is as small as possible, but large enough to hold a passport and has a normal cash pocket where …

I don’t have to fold bills. There are so many lame passport wallet designs out there. I even made a mock-up.

Wish I only had 4 cards in my wallet. Think I’ve been able to reduce the number to about 30.

how easily do the cards come out? can i see that in action? make sure to flip it around so i can see the other side..... of the wallet.

4 years ago | Likes 61 Dislikes 0

The video shows both sides of the wallet. I flip it over. You use the thumbslot to remove the lower card and you pull the top one out.

Thumbslot is a great addition.
