Crafting Philosophy

In contrast to the factory approach where each worker works on one part of a product alone, and passes it along to the next worker in line, your wallet is made from start to finish by a single craftsperson. This instills a sense of pride as well as accountability, and shows through in the quality of the creation.

Total hours spent making this wallet ~ It takes 6 hours to carefully cut the leather, stitch the pieces together, and burnish the edges of the wallet to a smooth and tough shine.

Packaging & Gifting

Built to Last

no fillers, no compromises

This leather wallet has been designed and built to last a lifetime. It has been meticulously handcrafted with 1.2 mm thick full grain leather and traditional saddlery techniques.

What is Saddle Stitching?

2 Hands, 2 needles, waxed thread

We hand stitch our wallets with a single thread and two needles - This technique is called saddle stitching. Hermés is one of the very few luxury brands that stitches their bags using the saddle stitching technique. Basically, a tiny knot is made between each stitch, making it virtually impossible for the stitches to come off or unravel. While sewing machines can stitch much more faster, they cannot compete with the saddle stitch when it comes to durability of seams.

Caring for Your Leather Wallet

A few simple steps and our leather will serve you for decades

  • To make the leather more supple and increase its life, use a leather conditioner like our Leather Balm in small quantities every 2-3 months
  • Use a gentle cleaner like our Saddle Soap to clean leather every 4-6 months, and especially before the monsoon season starts. Salts from sweat and dust from everyday use build up over time. This can lead to fungus (mold) formation in rainy weather.
  • Use Leather Balm to condition leather after cleaning.
  • Never use harsh chemicals or detergents. Do not leave out in high heat environments (over 45C) for prolonged periods of time.
