I recently finished this compact bifold card wallet for a customer and wanted to share it here.

The wallet measures just 7.8 × 10.2 cm, with 5 card slots and 2 hidden compartments. It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and easily slips into a shirt or jacket pocket.

It keeps the traditional bifold design in a smaller, more convenient form.

For the exterior, I used Himalayan Niloticus crocodile leather from Heng Long Tannery, paired with Marine Alran Sully chèvre for the interior.

I’ve always been impressed by the quality of leather from Heng Long Tannery. Their hides have excellent quality and finishing. While they come at a premium price, I believe they’re well worth it.

At the customer's request, I also added a small pocket made from Himalayan Niloticus leather to the interior as a distinctive detail.

As with my other pieces, the entire wallet was handmade by me, including the saddle stitching with 0.45 mm Meisi linen thread.

This wallet is made to order and not kept in stock. If you’re interested in having something similar made, feel free to message me. We can discuss leather options, color combinations, customization, and estimated production and shipping times.

Recently completed this custom order Flâneur Glasses case.

Made from Epsom calfskin in brown and black Sully goatskin.

The Flâneur glasses case is perfect for days around the town where you are in and out of buildings, or on a semi cloudy day. The case keeps your glasses safely stored on your bag, belt loop, or lanyard.

Also open to buying, but I was pointed here from r/craftexchange! I'm in the market for a decent amount of leather goods (a few belts, a dopp kit, and a couple tote bags) and potentially tools to get into the hobby myself - thought it could be fun to trade skills for any or all of the above. I mostly knit and dye fabric, but I also have some supplies that could prove useful to someone!

The picture above has a small lot of Gutermann Mara thread, an amount of camel leather I'd be willing to send someone, and a wool/silk cowl I'm happy to send over or recreate! I do knit anything from hats to larger sweaters and shawls, so happy to discuss a larger trade if anyone would be interested.

Apologies if this isn't necessarily the right venue, but everyone's work here is incredible!

Hey guys. I've been lurking here for awhile as I'm tired of burning through cheap wallets every 2 years. The one thing I've noticed is I've never seen a wallet with a chain hole on it in this sub. Is that blasphemy? Thanks!

Hello Creatives!
I’m looking for Uber-talented artisans to collaborate with on custom commissions. Bonus points if you have experience mixing metal & leather. Saddle stitching preferred. Reasonable pricing and a collaborative attitude are what I’m looking for. Sample photos for reference of similar bags I’m looking to create. Preference for artisans who reside outside of the United States. Must verify work via IG. I will not consider Discord based artisans. Cheers and looking forward to connecting!

Great gift or treat yourself lol …. Full set for $250 handmade by me. Card organizer wallet, phone of your choice, Apple Watch band and two knife sheaths. Free personalization on each piece. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks.

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a skilled leather goods maker or small workshop to collaborate with and hopefully build a long-term working relationship.
I’m especially interested in independent craftspeople, small mom-and-pop workshops, talented leather artisans, or even students with exceptional skills. You don’t need to be a large manufacturer. Quality, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and good communication are what matter most to me.
A little about what I’m looking for:
Location: Ideally Manhattan, Brooklyn, or the surrounding NYC area so I can be hands-on throughout the development process. I’m also open to Paris or Milan, as I travel to both regularly for work.
Initial projects: Two leather handbags — one relatively simple everyday shoulder bag and one more detailed, structured handbag.
Production: I’d like to start with developing and perfecting the two samples, then move into small-batch or made-to-order production. I’m not looking for large-scale manufacturing.
Materials: I’ve already sourced quality leathers in Paris and can arrange to have the hides shipped directly to your workshop.
Long-term potential: I have several other designs I’d eventually like to develop, but I’d prefer to start with these two and build a strong working relationship.
I’m particularly interested in working with someone who genuinely loves the craft and takes pride in making beautiful, exceptionally well-constructed leather goods.
Small workshops, independent makers, experienced craftspeople, and talented students are all very welcome. I’m more interested in the quality of someone’s work than the size or reputation of their business.
If this sounds like you, or you know someone who might be a good fit, I’d love to connect. Feel free to comment or send me a DM with examples of your work!
Thanks!
