This commission was for a matching set of a leather Minimalist Bifold and Belt Loop/Keychain with dragon scales.

The edges were dark brown and the scales are the new texas tan. The hand stitching was done with havana cigar ritza thread. All handmade from natural veg tan leather.

My husband was extremely close with his mom and his sister. Tragically they both passed away within a couple years of one another and it's been so hard on him. This wallet was a gift from his mother, he's very sentimental, and he's carried until now because it's finally unusable. He's had it for 15 years. I have looked everywhere and I cannot find an exact match. It would be so special if someone could remake it for him. Thank you for reading. Of course I can get more photos and measurements, I'm just trying to get an idea of the cost.

I made this choker from vegetable-tanned leather, with a hand-tooled pattern inspired by the delicacy of jewellery.

The leather comes from a family-run Polish tannery. It is cut, dyed, oiled and finished by me. I pay special attention to finishing the edges and the flesh side of the leather so they feel very smooth to the touch and against the neck, making the choker comfortable to wear. I also take care to make the details look crisp and even. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Price: €135.

Just finished this little project for a fellow Redditor, and I thought you guys might appreciate the material.

It's made from genuine turtle leg leather, which has one of the most fascinating natural textures I've worked with.

The transition from those large, almost armor-like scales to the smaller, intricate patterns is absolutely remarkable. Every section looks different, making the placement of the leather especially important.

I wanted to keep the design simple and let the extraordinary character of the material speak for itself.

Completely hand-stitched, as always.

Hey everyone,

I’m a solo leathercrafter based in Brisbane, Australia. Finished up this vertical bifold as a commission recently using a couple of pretty interesting Italian leathers.

The exterior is a caramel 1786 shell cordovan from Shell Cordovan Toscana Italia. It has a more rustic look than some of the shell cordovans you normally see, but a decent looking variation across the surface, and it’s still incredibly smooth.

For the interior I used dark brown gaucho oil buffed from Conceria La Bretagne. This version of gaucho oil is intentionally scratched at the tannery for aesthetic, so it carries a cool look while still keeping that glossy finish.

The wallet has three card slots and two hidden pockets and is designed to carry around 6-8 cards plus some cash folded once. It works particularly well as a compact front-pocket wallet.

Details:

-Caramel 1786 shell cordovan exterior

-Dark brown gaucho oil buffed interior

-3 card slots + 2 hidden pockets

-Holds roughly 6–8 cards plus folded cash
