About the service
I manufacture wallets and cardholders completely by hand — from hide selection to final edge polishing. I work with vegetable-tanned leather: Tuscan leather develops a noble patina over time, while saddle leather offers enhanced water resistance and density. Each part is cut by hand using paper patterns refined through dozens of prototypes, and all seams are stitched with a saddle stitch using waxed linen thread — two needles working toward each other, which makes the seam strong even if the thread breaks at one point, unlike machine stitching in a single pass.
The card pocket configuration is fully customizable: from a minimalist cardholder for two cards with a bill strap to a dual-panel wallet for six cards, a coin compartment, and a hidden document window. Before starting work, I clarify your habits — how many cards you carry, whether you fold bills or keep them loose, whether you need a money clip — and build the internal architecture specifically for you, not by template. Corners are sanded by hand and polished with beeswax using a wooden burnisher to a glass-like shine; edges are painted in matching or contrasting color.
Monograms are executed using initial embossing, blind embossing, or die stamping in your chosen font; you can add a small personal mark or company logo. Thread color, edge finish, and hardware (snaps, brass rivets) — everything is selected individually so your item is truly yours.
Manufacturing time is usually 7-10 business days depending on complexity and current workload, with photo reports at the cutting, stitching, and finishing stages so you can approve the work before final polishing. Rush orders are available for an additional fee — let me know your deadline in advance, and I'll honestly tell you if it's realistic to meet it.
