    What color would you like?

    Please summarize discussed customization.

    Please enter quoted customization cost.

    *Thread

    Matching thread to the lighter colored leather is generally recommended. For exotics, it's suggested to match the exterior. Note: As item is hand-sewn, thread color will be the same on both exterior and interior.

    Don't see the thread color you're looking for? Please select "Maker's Choice" and let me know in the order notes what color you'd like.

    Standard font is limited to capital letters only (max 2 of the same letter). The old style font is smaller, but more expansive allowing for upper and lower case letters as well as numbers and symbols.

    Initials will be stamped in the inner bottom right corner for folding items and in the front bottom right corner for non-folding items, unless specified otherwise. For items with the mini pocket addition, initials will be stamped in the center.

    Please note that foil show may premature wear compared to the rest of the item.

    Please upload black-and-white JPG. Highly complex images will not be possible. Clearly defined lines work best. Alternatively, feel free to email the image to sales@leatherbound.ink at a later date.

    Order Notes


SKU: Categories: Wallets

Design & Capacity

  • 4 card pockets
  • 2 hidden pockets
  • Optional rear and mini pockets
  • Best suited for 3-10 cards
  • Super slim design is suitable for front pocket carry

The mini pocket is best used to store folded cash, small membership cards, tickets, etc.

This is the extra compact version of the vertical bifold — it’s a little shorter and narrower and has one less card pocket.

Construction

  • Hand sewn using the saddle stitch method
  • All edges are finely creased and polished to a smooth finish
  • Wallet body is lined with leather

I employ both burnishing and hand painting in my work. I will choose a suitable edge treatment depending on the leathers chosen. If you’d like a specific edge treatment, please add your request to the order notes.

Materials

  • World-class French, Italian, or Japanese leathers (according to above selection)
  • Polyester thread for superior abrasion resistance

Chèvre and Sherpa interiors are backed with reinforcement to prevent stretch and reduce bulk.

Dimensions

  • Height: 10.22cm (4.02″)
  • Length (when folded) 7cm (2.76″)
  • Thickness (at edge) ~0.76cm (.3″)

Thickness may vary slightly depending on leathers chosen.

Short card pockets make card retrieval a breeze.

Custom Minimalist Bifold

Premium handmade product using top leather materials. This will be on par with any high-end leather product, but better because it will be one-of-a-kind. Silas will also work with you to ensure you have the right color combinations to maintain a premium aesthetic. I just put in an order for 2 more items.

Beautiful wallet

This is one of the most beautiful wallets I’ve ever seen. The leather is such high quality. The craftsmanship is unmatched. You can tell Silas takes his time on each piece and caressing about his work. Will have to get another one for my dad

Japanese veg tan minimalist bifold

Second order from Leatherbound. Great options for leathers.. after a quick consult with Silas we had it dialed in. A few weeks later my high quality leather wallet arrived. Craftsmanship even better than two years ago… experience matters! Very happy with my purchase.. saving my first commissioned Leather-bound wallet for my son when he’s older.. definitely a buy it for life sort of product/quality.

Excellent Wallet

Had a really great experience purchasing a wallet from Silas. Would recommend messaging him if you are trying to decide between different color schemes and he'll be able to provide some add'l photos and point you in the right direction. Additionally, his communication is quick and he keeps you informed throughout the process so you know when to expect your product. You can definitely feel the quality of the wallet and leather once you receive it. Will 100% be buying from Silas again in the future.
