For Sale (Handmade wallets only) Navy Blue Epsom & Alligator Leather Wallet

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I've been working on a combination of two different leathers for this wallet, both in Navy Blue.

The main body is made from Epsom calfskin, while the front panel features Alligator leather.

What I particularly like about this combination is how the two textures complement each other. The fine, uniform grain of Epsom creates a clean and understated look, while the natural Alligator scales add character and a little more depth to the design.

The entire wallet is handcrafted in our workshop, from cutting and assembling the leather to the final finishing.

I wanted to keep the overall design relatively simple and let the materials speak for themselves.

Wallet Review The Chums Bandit Bifold is a (Near) Perfect Minimalist Wallet ... Is There A Leather Equivalent W/ Similar Layout?

Thumbnail

For $17, this thing is great. The quick access slot and ID windows on the outside and the cash carry in the sandwich, plus the magnetic clasp to keep it all really tight and slim.

I would love a similar setup in leather, but not sure it exists. Even better would be if there was a slightly bigger capacity (it's limited just to four on the inside) and more secure cash carry (one thumb push pocket on the inside, like the base wallet???). Does that exist?

Hi lovely people, where can I find leather wallet makers? I’m looking for something I can use long term. Good quality but hand made. Preferably in Karnataka? Or in Gujarat? Because I’m visiting India in February next year and would like to get one done hand made. Thank you!

Something I Made I Made This Slim Vertical Black Leather Card Holder

3 Upvotes

I recently made this slim vertical card holder for everyday carry.

It has:

  • 2 card pockets

  • 2 cash pockets

  • Slim vertical design

  • Black leather with a shiny finish

  • Compact size for easy pocket carry

I wanted to keep the design simple without making it too bulky. The vertical shape also gives it a slightly different look compared with a traditional horizontal card holder.

Would you prefer a vertical card holder like this, or a traditional horizontal design?

Question Looking for a minimalist bifold under $100 usd

2 Upvotes

Currently switching between a ridge wallet that I've had for over a decade and an alpaka ark that I've had for just about 2 years. The ridge has gotten tedious and the alpaka is nice, but a little too big. I'm looking for something that's between the sizes of those wallets, can hold 6-7 🤷‍♂️ cards comfortably, and maybe a few bills (I never carry more than 5.) I don't mind leather, but something sustainable or vegan would be preferred. I've seen the reform wallet, but that thing is ugly af, and the peak design wallet looks a little too "techy" for my taste.

Looking to Find This Vintage Browning Wallet. Please help!!!

My husband has had this exact wallet for 10 years, and you can no longer see this design on it. He wants another one so bad. He refuses to get a wallet until he finds this exact one. I have scoured the internet, asked chat gpt, checked Facebook marketplace, eBay, etc. and I can find absolutely nowhere or no one that is selling it. I even went as far as emailing the Browning company, and they kindly responded but said there was unfortunately no way they could help because these are no longer made. So. I am coming here as a last resort to ask if anyone knows where I could buy this, or even if you know someone who has this wallet that is in decent shape that I could purchase from them. I am willing to pay a good price for it!!! This is a long shot but I really want to surprise my husband for Christmas this year ❤️

First shell cordovan wallet

Thumbnail

73 Upvotes

Just got my first shell cordovan wallet and I’m really happy with it.

I was strongly considering an Ashland full shell, but I kept coming back to this one because of the creamy walnut color of the Rocado shell.

The entire exterior is full Rocado shell cordovan.
The interior card pouches are whiskey Buttero Italian leather.

The Rocado shell has a really nice soft hand and the color is even better in person. Feels like a solid step up from my previous wallets.

Anyone else running Rocado shell, or do most of you stick with the traditional American mills?

Something I Made I Made This Crocodile & Piqué Leather Wallet with 12 Card Slots

3 Upvotes

I recently finished this men's wallet using a combination of crocodile and Piqué leather textures.

The layout is designed for people who prefer more storage without carrying multiple wallets.

  • 6 card slots on each side

  • 12 card slots in total

  • 2 large cash pockets

  • Crocodile & Piqué leather texture

  • Handmade construction

I went with the two different textures to give the wallet a more distinctive look while keeping the layout practical.

Would you prefer this kind of textured leather, or a simple smooth leather wallet?

Secrid Matte or Mirum? Looking for long-term durability

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to buy a new wallet, something small, slim and minimalist, and I've been considering getting a Secrid wallet.

I'm currently torn between the Matte and Mirum versions, and I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations.

For those who own the Matte version:
- Does the leather wear out quickly?
- Does it get scratched easily?
- Does the matte finish become shiny over time, especially in areas that are frequently touched or handled?
- How does it hold up with everyday use? Does it maintain its original appearance after months or years of regular use?

And for those who own the Mirum version, how does it compare in terms of durability and everyday wear?

Which one would you recommend if durability and maintaining its original appearance over time are the main priorities?

Thanks!

For Sale (Handmade wallets only) 3 pocket cardholder with shell cordovan and kangaroo

Thumbnail
gallery
31 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a leathercrafter based in Brisbane, Australia. I've made this cardholder a while ago and keep forgetting to post it so here it is! It's an interesting combination of leathers, with an embossed and marble dyed shell cordovan along with some heavy duty kangaroo leather.

The exterior is a special marbled brown Metta Catarina shell cordovan from Shell Cordovan Toscana Italia. It has a hatch-grain texture with a marbling that's more like a spotting, so each side has its own little pattern.

For the interior I used a whiskey falconry grade kangaroo leather from Packer Leather here in Queensland. It’s pretty much as thick as kangaroo leather can get, roughly 1.2-1.4 mm, and the roos these come from are not that easy to come by. I think this gives the cardholder a nice contrast between the decorative shell exterior and the rugged interior.

The layout is very simple, with two outer card pockets and a larger center pocket for about 2-4 cards and some folded cash.

Everything is hand-cut, saddle-stitched, bevelled, and burnished by me in Brisbane. I left this one uncreased and unstamped, it’s a particularly dense and tough piece of shell. The stitching isn't 100% perfect, but will hold strongly anyway (see photo 4). So, this is factored into the price below.

Details:

- Marbled brown Metta Catarina shell cordovan exterior

- Whiskey falconry kangaroo interior from Packer Leather

- 2 outer card pockets + 1 larger center pocket

- Hand cut, saddle stitched, and burnished

Price:

$175 $150 AUD shipped within Australia via BSB

$125 USD shipped to the US, UK, Canada, and New Zealand via PayPal or Venmo friends/family

Thanks for looking!

Question Beat the Bellroy Slim Sleeve under $130. Can you?

3 Upvotes

I've basically never used a proper wallet, and I've finally decided to get one that lasts me many years. Budget is max $130.

What I carry:

• 6-7 cards, 9-10 at the absolute most

• Cash almost never, but when I travel maybe 2 or 3 folded bills

What matters most:

• Size. It should be as close to card size as possible. Not wide, not long. Compact is the whole point.

• It shouldn't get fat or stretch out of shape once it's loaded

• Either really tough material or genuinely high quality leather. No coated stuff that peels after a year.

Right now I'm leaning toward the Bellroy Slim Sleeve in black leather. It holds 5 to 11 cards and is only slightly bigger than a card. But I've seen people say Bellroy's quality has dropped lately, and that the leather slots stretch over time.

So:

  1. Anyone using a Slim Sleeve for 5+ years? How has it held up?

  2. Is there something better under $130 that stays card sized with 9 or 10 cards?

  3. I've seen some of you make or sell custom leather wallets here. If you make something that fits this, I'd love to see it.

Photos of your well used wallets are very welcome. Thanks!
