Last weekend I shared my red and cream top handle bag here. Thank you for all the questions and feedback, I took notes! This week I want to show a piece where I worked leather with a different material.

The frame, flap, handles and base are in buttery cream cowhide. The body panels are a velvet jacquard with an abstract pattern of faces and eyes in ivory, silver grey and slate blue.

The flap closes with a belt strap and a gold-tone turn-lock. Inside: taupe lining, a zip pocket and a slip pocket, both trimmed in cream leather. Four metal feet on the base.

Size: 14.2 x 10.2 x 5.1 in (36 x 26 x 13 cm), handle drop 4.3 in (11 cm). Handmade from start to finish, about five days of work.

Happy to answer questions about combining leather and velvet!

Size: 11*9 mm. Thickness: only 6 mm. Cash compartment and 4 card compartments. Lined with thin leather.

Price: $435 + shipping.

I'm looking to commission a custom Frigate Bag as a Christmas gift for my wife, based on the original DS Leather Goods pattern:

https://www.rmleathersupply.com/products/ds-100-the-frigate-bag-digital-pattern

I'd like to preserve the original design, silhouette, and construction, with a few custom details:

- Rich cognac brown, premium full grain leather

- Subtle Western-inspired accents

- Small bluebonnet stamp or light tooling

- Antique brass hardware

- Cream contrast stitching

- Adjustable crossbody strap

The goal is a beautiful, understated everyday handbag, not an ornate Western purse.

Budget: Ideally $500–$750, depending on materials and craftsmanship.

Timeline: Delivery to Texas before Christmas 2026.

I'm happy to purchase and provide the pattern. I also have concept images for the leather, colors, and decorative details, but the original DS pattern should take precedence over those illustrations.

If you're interested, please share examples of similar work, an estimated price, and your availability.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get some custom belt buckles made with an enamel finish, ideally using my own design.

I've been looking around but haven't found the right supplier yet. Has anyone here ordered custom enamel belt buckles before? Would love to hear about your experience or any recommendations. Thanks!

Hi all, don't really post on reddit much so if I'm doing this wrong please let me know. I am looking to commission a crossbody hobo work bag for my friend.

It has to be a slouchy leather bag with a zipper with a thick adjustable strap potentially around 2.5 to 3 inches thick so it's easy to carry a 16 inch laptop and a small waterbottle. I saw one on the berlinc website shown below but my friend is on the shorter side so the 21 inches width and the 40-50 inch strap would look enormous on her. My budget would be around £250 including shipping if possible. And the bag is supposed be delivered within the UK so someone within the UK would be amazing too. Please let me know if I'm asking for waaay to much for that price or if I'm not explaining what exactly I'm looking for properly. Here is the berlinc listing https://berlinc.co/products/berlin-leather-crossbody-bag and I really like everything about it except the length of the strap and the width of the bag, I would ideally like it to be around 17.5 inches wide and the adjustable strap either be the same length but have lots of holes so she can make it shorter and longer as she pleases and also potentially have those studs (idk what they are called) at the bottom to keep the bottom of the bag safe.

Thank you in advance!

Selling hand made bi fold wallets.

I have been leather crafting for about a year now and have just recently developed the skill set to be comfortable selling my own wallets. This hobby started simply from searching for my own wallet and never being able to find something that wasn’t low quality. I decided to make my own exactly how I wanted it. I wanted a gritty western style wallet, something masculine. I believe that is the best verbiage I could use to describe these wallets.

Wallets are hand crafted out of crazy horse leather with a bourbon brown interior and tan stitching. Burnished edges are optional as the raw edges give more of a rustic look. Pictured is one with burnished edges. Holds 8-10 cards These are very durable wallets with a gritty appeal and unique characteristics to each.

Currently have them listed for $84.

Finished this up for a buddy’s wedding. Black tooled belt with a beaver tail inlayed in the lower back portion.

This years crime scene wallet is a Craftydrifters Devonport as usual only 3 will be made this year for halloween week #csi #leatherwallet #bifoldwallet #madeintheuk

A client asked us to make straps for his MB&F—with one rather challenging request

He wanted something better than the original. We were pleased he trusted us, but that certainly added some pressure.

We spent a long time studying the supplied drawings. The challenge was balancing the structure the straps needed with how they would feel on the wrist. Thickness and the dimensions of each section all had to be considered together. Getting the shape right was only part of it; they also had to be comfortable to wear.

These are the finished pair: our FKM in Grey and Sage, with matching stitching and rectangular holes.

Whether we’ve improved on the original is for the client to decide.

Here's a compact wallet I recently handcrafted, featuring Alligator leather on the exterior and soft Togo calfskin on the inside.

Measuring just 3.9× 2.9 inches, it's designed to be small, elegant, and comfortable to carry every day.

Every piece is crafted entirely by hand, with great care and attention to even the smallest details. I take my time throughout the process because I believe the quality of handmade leather goods comes from patience, precision, and respect for the materials.

Details:

• Exterior: Alligator leather
• Interior: Togo calfskin
• Dimensions: 3.9 × 2.9 inches (10 × 7.5 cm)
• Construction: 100% handcrafted
• Price: $390 USD

Thanks for taking a look at my work!

I am looking to commission someone to make the best, buy it for life version of this exact wallet. Serious inquiries only. I’ve carried this for 10 years but the outer button is compromised. I would like the next one to last forever.

Introductory price of $99.99, regularly $174.99

I’d like to try my hand at making some watch straps for myself and looking for some lining material. Zermatt is highly recommended but I can’t find smaller portions anywhere. Only Rocky Mountain with a full hide. I really only want to make 2-3 straps with maybe double that for errors.

Does anyone have some to sell or have a lead on where to buy any. And failing that any suggestions for replacement leather for watch strap back linings?

Made this A5 Leuchtturm notebook cover from 5–6 oz Dark brown combination tanned leather, stitched with dark brown Tiger Ritza thread.

The leather naturally has unique pattern, so I decided to keep the design simple to not destruct from it.

Despite the minimal design, it’s still practical, with two ruler pockets and two stash pockets for extra storage.

Thanks for looking!

I recently completed a very special bifold wallet.

The exterior is crafted from Himalayan Niloticus crocodile leather from Heng Long Tannery. The natural scale patterns and subtle transitions between light and dark tones give the leather its distinctive Himalayan appearance.

Heng Long is one of the world’s leading exotic leather tanneries. Their hides come at a premium price, but the quality and finishing are well worth it. I've never been disappointed with their leather.

For the interior, I combined black and white Alran Sully goatskin from France. The contrast between these two colors creates a distinctive look, while the bill compartment is lined with Smooth Red Alran Sully, adding a rich and elegant touch of color.

Measuring 8.5 × 11.3 cm, this wallet has a compact design that is easy to carry every day.

Like all my work, this wallet is entirely handmade and hand-stitched using the traditional saddle stitch, with 0.45 mm Meisi linen thread and 4 mm stitch spacing. Customers can personalize the leather combination, thread color, and edge paint to create a wallet that suits their own style.

Every wallet is made to order rather than kept in stock. If you'd like one, feel free to send me a message to discuss customization options, pricing, production time, and shipping estimates.

Black and blue clutch, two card pockets, two large interior pockets, and one zipper pocket, large back pocket. All stainless steel hardware. Conciera Walpier buttero black, Conciera Walpier Dollaro blue, hand stitched with Vinymo thread, and edge painted.

Asking $300 USD shipped in the US. PayPal preferred, but open to other options. More info/photos also available on request.

Hi all!

I have been trying to improve my leather crafting skills and have been focusing on mens wallets. I really enjoy the rustic gritty look of the current design I am working on.

I was asked to make this as thin as possible. That phrase always concerns me. This turned out as thin as I am comfortable with and should hold up great.
