About the service
I make custom passport covers and travel organizers — not a repurposed everyday wallet, but something designed specifically for travel. I use the actual dimensions of a passport booklet as my base: the inner pocket holds it snugly so the cover doesn't stretch or wobble, and next to it I arrange separate slots for a boarding pass, a couple of cards, and folded bills. If you travel with a second passport, a glued-in visa, or a vaccination certificate — let me know in advance, and I'll make a separate pocket for it rather than cramming everything into one general slot.
I cut each cover from a single piece of vegetable-tanned leather, thinning the leather at the fold lines so the item stays flat in a jacket pocket rather than sticking out like a folder. I treat and polish the edges so they don't fray after several trips through airport security. I stitch by hand or machine with waxed thread, and I emboss initials, a monogram, or a short phrase on the cover — restrainedly, so the item functions well rather than drawing unwanted attention.
What's included in the order:
— Discussion of leather color, stitch type, and internal layout for your documents
— Compartments for passport, boarding pass, cards, and ID exactly to size
— Personal embossing of initials, monogram, or short phrase on the cover
— Polished treated edges and reinforced stitching for frequent flying
— Photo of finished cover before shipping and brief instructions for leather care
