All right, someone just ask, how can a piece of veg tan natural leather, folded with minimal stitching hold important money and cash!!!!

Well, the only way is to put it into test

The VICTIM

Plain simple design, price at USD69, no frill ****

The IMPORTANTS

8 Cards
Thousand dollars bill in value (made up of 5 different currencies)

The FIT

4 card sluts slots, each handling 2 cock cards
1 Big bill slot, swallowing all the dollars!

The TEST

RESULT, the wallet survive! Other then slight over half an inch, it hold the IMPORTANTS snugly!

(Item Available in Multiple colors, please refer to webstore for more info!)

My gf wanted a new wallet. She specified she didn't want the "evo" effect as we call it, so I thought I'd use the oil tan burgundy that I have.

But she also said she wants clean burnished edges, so I finally I dug out this italian calf veg tan that I've been keeping. It has been plated at the factory with a coating of leather lacquer, so less fears of aging or staining. Yet, being veg tan, I can still burnish the edges. It also has a very luxurious feel to it.

Nothing new to the design of this wallet, but this is the first time I am doing something with this leather. Very nice to work with I'd say.

Dear leather experts, is there such a thing as 7 different hand polished leather treatments or something like that? I saw a nice leather bag and it is pretty well polished but price wise is a lot more.

Sorry, I don't have a catalog. I do this only in free time, and plus I am crafting them fully by hand, so cannot produce so much to build a catalog yet.

The scariest phrase a home based artist can hear is "minimum order quantity"

Sold my bike, 3 goldfish and a pristine collection of Enid Blyton story books to buy these.

 

[poneglyph]

ah i see, so what do you have for sale at the moment?

anyway, how much did those raw leathers cost for you to sell so many things to fund?

Actually, what I can do can be potentially limited by many things:

- tools available (though less of it nowadays, as I've been constantly acquiring tools)

- materials (also less of it nowadays)

- skill (sometimes I have to redo a wallet 2-3 times before I can get it right, but if I have to do it, I will do it at my cost)

- Customer budget (this is the most limiting factor)
