These wallets have two pockets in the front and a central cash pocket. They will easily fit 4 cards in the front pockets, as well as folded cash or more cards in the main pocket. Over time the leather will soften and allow more items to fit.
A curved bottom pocket allows cards to be easily removed with a quick flick of a thumb. The rounded corners prevent the case from bending out of shape and aid in the ease of slipping the wallet in and out of a pocket. Meticulous saddle stitching also offers superior durability while incorporating a subtly elegant, yet often eye catching aesthetic element.

Carry your essential cards and cash with this luxurious handmade and hand stitched leather wallet.
These wallets are made with full grain vegetable tanned leather from the renowned Walpier tannery in Italy. I hand stitch the wallets with white Fil au Chinois linen thread. This high quality thread is made in France by Sajou and is well known for its high strength, quality weave and rich colors.

The edges are beveled, burnished smooth by hand and sealed with a specialty leather wax that's produced in-house.
These wallets will easily fit 2-3 cards in the front pocket as well as cash, coins or more cards in the main pocket. Over time the leather will soften and allow even more items to fit. The folding cover is conveniently secured with a metal snap closure, allowing you to carry and protect your items in style.
Please note that the red wallets will have leather covered snap closures. The blue and green wallets will have exposed metal snaps, unless leather covered closures are requested.

By utilizing many traditional tools and techniques, I am able to incorporate features into my designs that modern machines simply can’t replicate. Vintage hand tools and their modern counterparts also provide more flexibility than many machines, enabling me to blend various aesthetic styles and construction techniques. My hands-on approach also ensures a high degree of quality control and helps preserve a rich heritage of hand crafting for future generations.
There is a staggeringly wide variety of leather and the sheer amount of options can certainly be overwhelming. However, it's important to consider that the type of animal, tannage and grade of a hide are all significant to the construction and quality of a finished leather good.
Here at Full Grain Creations, you'll only find the highest grade full grain leather from premier tanneries in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Italy. Leather is also carefully chosen for individual products in order to achieve optimal aestheics and functionality.
My items are sewn by hand using a method called saddle stitching. This traditional style of sewing creates exponentially stronger stitches than any machine can produce. Skilled crafters, utilizing specialized tools, can employ this technique to create elegant and distinctive diagonal stitches, enhancing the beauty and longevity of a bespoke leather good.
Although hand stitching has slowly fallen by the wayside as machines and mass production dominate the market, I carry on the tradition to ensure my products are of the highest quality and to pay homage to those who came before me.
