So I finally had access to a splitter locally, and decided to make a shell cordovan exterior wallet with removable ID slot, just to see how thin I can make it. Here's the result. This one was made from Navy Shell Cordovan from Italy for the exterior, and Buttero leather for the interior. A similar bifold made of Color 8 Shell Cordovan from Horween will be coming up next!

If anyone interested, this one for sale. PM me!

Something a little different today. Black chevre on barenia, with a green + white stitching. Takes twice as long to make, but probably twice as strong and a million times more unique.

Here's a full bifold done in full Color 8 Shell Cordovan from Horween. Definitely a luxurious item - glad to have had the opportunity to craft this for a very satisfied customer!

While I'm at it, here's all the colours of shell that I have on hand right now. Not yet a rainbow, but getting there! These shell come from 3 tanneries (Horween, Shinki, Rocado). I have yet to try out Clayton shell, but would be looking to bring some in soon.

Horween - 5,6,7,8
Shinki - 1,2,3,4,11
Rocado - 9,10

Thanks for looking!

Finally got around to making a fully decked out classic bifold wallet out of Shell Cordovan. This one is Color 8 from Horween. One side of the wallet has card slots, while the other side contains a coin pouch. Hard to get this to stay thin, but tried to do my best to prevent it from becoming too bulky since it's fully-lined and all leather only.

This is a nice one something that i want. Next time look for u do one for me after my german sized braun buffel wallet cui (if you dont charge too ex)

One side i need card slots preferably with additional flap to hold more cards and hidden slots as well. The other side coin pouch. And 2 compartments for cash notes for seperate currencies. (Sometimes to put credit card receipts)

I keep my wallet in my pants front pocket if not will place it on work desk.

If you Google something like "leathercraft lesson singapore", I'm sure you will be able to find someone offering classes. There are quite a few being held on weekends. Unfortunately I can't speak to the quality since I haven't attended any; the best proxy is probably the quality of the goods that the teacher makes. All the best!

Try Atelier Lodge, leather crafting need practice...

IMO, most of the brands are similar in terms of material and construction. Probably down to wallet design, but that's a personal preference already. Braun Buffel seems popular, but bear in mind these mall-grade wallets are not buy-it-for-life type of quality.
