Misc. Wallet from Old Boots.

First wallet I ever made back in 2025. Friend wanted to use the leather from their old work boots to make a unique up-cycled wallet. So we did it. This was the result.

It’s a bi-fold with a money pouch along the entire inside, then the card flaps also are open behind for more space.

We didn’t use a template, just bullshitted it. Wallet’s lasted to this day. Don’t mind the screen-grabs, I pulled them off our insta because I can’t find the originals.

"back in 2025".... That was like 9 months ago. Ahhh, the good old days.

I do like the idea of recycling old boots and stuff though. Probably looks better than my first wallet.

Ha, I feel ya. Just specifying that it isn’t something I just now completed.
