Fine Handmade Leather Goods

I almost never leave reviews, but feel obligated to do so in this case considering the quality of the product I received. Communication is prompt, wallet construction is immaculate, and the value is exceptional.

I ordered the classic bifold with a museum calf exterior and chèvre interior. I included (what I believed to be) potentially confusing and obscure requests, but they were duly noted and understood by Silas without further clarification. He provided an update photo along the way so I could see how it looked during the process, and correspondence was always timely.

The wallet itself took a while to arrive, but was certainly worth the wait; the colors pair beautifully, the material is durable yet flexible, and the edges are sleek. It manages to feel both hardy/robust, and elegant/refined.

If you're still on the fence, I think it's a no-brainer (especially if you live in the States). You're getting comparable—if not superior—material and construction quality to that of high-end luxury brands for half the price. Thank you Silas!

The wallet is perfect! My husband wanted one for Christmas and based on the lead time I didn’t expect to have it in time (spoiler alert, I did). While it was being created Silas sent me an amazing in process photo, which was great because if it didn’t arrive I could have given it to my husband to open.

When it arrived it was packaged beautifully!

The price relative to the quality and service is unmatched!

I couldn’t be happier. Silas is an absolute master of his craft. His creations look amazing online. In person, they look, and FEEL even better. It exudes quality and it’s clear it will last and last. I got my wallet today in the mail and it has instantly become one of my favorite belongings. If you’re looking for a gift for a guy who has everything (or want to get yourself a great gift), consider a custom wallet from Silas. Unbelievably awesome.

I bought a five pocket wallet in natural shell cordovan and natural thread, and I'm stunned with it. I have a collection of the finest hand crafted small leather goods, belts and wallets mainly, from Herve N., Hermes, Ottely, and several others. I have a good idea of what the highest level of quality looks like, and this wallet belongs with the very best I have. I'm not easily impressed, and have handled and rejected lots of supposed high quality stuff. This wallet would be a bargain at twice the price, in my opinion.

I recently received my 5-pocket Minimalist Wallet in Museum Calfskin. I’m truly blown away with the incredible quality. Of course only the best materials are used. However, the real tip-off that there is something really special about Silas’ work is the stitching along the edges. It is very tightly and uniformly done. To fully appreciate it, you should view it under a loupe - it is that good! Obviously I’m extremely happy with this wallet - so much so that I already have another on order. This one will be in Shinki shell cordovan.

I’ve had many good wallets from Montblanc to Gucci, but this wallet is a different kind of luxury. Materials are far better and Silas’ craftsmanship is absolutely stunning. Perfect attention to details. You’re getting far more for your money here. If you actually care about what materials are used in your wallet and you appreciate the finer leathers, look no further.

I purchased a vertical bifold for my partner after my brother recommended Leatherbound. I opted for black everything and couldn’t be more happy with my purchase. It’s well-crafted and minimalistic, but high quality. My partner loves it and we can’t wait to see how well it holds up as it gets used. Thank you Silas for the updates and the amazing final product. P.S. My brothers wallet that he ordered 3 years ago is still going strong after everyday use.

Silas continues to demonstrate why handmade items cannot be beat if you're looking for quality and attention to detail. Not to mention you'll have a luxury item for half the cost, yet just as good or better than the named brands. And is unique - one of a kind in the world.
