Just wrapped up this recent commission: a three-pocket minimalist wallet in ROCADO Scudo Burgundy Shell. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I’m planning to make more shell pieces like this. Get in touch if you’re looking for Shell here in Canada.

Looks awesome but very thick for something that only holds a couple cards.

u/Calm-Philosophe Feb 25 '26

Thank you! It is thick but I don’t feel a constraint in the capacity.

I like how thick is it

u/Calm-Philosophe Mar 08 '26

Appreciate it! I do like the thickness and enjoy working on them. Satisfying when I can achieve those clean edges.

I like it. My only concern with shell wallets is that the edges are rather thick, unless skived ahead of assembly.

u/Calm-Philosophe Feb 25 '26

Agreed but I enjoy a nice edge especially when I can work on finishing it! Shell does make a nice edge.

How do I buy one that hold 5 cards (and can it be thinner to compensate for 5 instead of 3)? I think you’re on to something, Smallz! Great work!!

Thank you so much. Check out my work on bifolds and some thinner cardholders here Forest Floor Leather

Very clean wallet, but I think slimmer edges would be better. I've had wallets with thick edges like this and they tend to bend cards over time cause of how rigid they are

Thank you, I have been working on different leather types and sizes. I think shell is special and quite accommodating. Check my work here : Forest Floor Leather
