My range is deliberately kept simple as that best suits the type of leather I have available. The majority of card wallets I sell are made from offcuts left over from other commissions.
The English bridle leather I like to work with is typically thicker and stiffer than the leather used for wallets. However I do sometimes get a batch of offcuts thinned down that I use to make up wallets and other small goods. And sometimes I am able to repurpose leather from a repairs project.
Making up card wallets is one area where I can let my love for colour go wild. While the leather is usually confined to the standard range of colours, I can get brightly coloured nappa for the linings, and select bright thread for stitching. Ask my preference and it will always be a contrasting colour to show off my hand stitching.
I always have a selection in stock and bring them along to markets.
Sometimes I do get contacted by clients who have a specific requirement for a wallet. The most common requests are for ID Wallets – ones that can be used to show a photo card through a clear panel, so that the ID doesn’t need to be removed from the wallet.
