    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.

    *Thread colors

    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.

    Please note the following:

    • 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 of said pocket
    • Personalization without foil may be very subtle on textured leathers, especially Sherpa & Epsom.
    • Foil may show premature wear compared with the rest of the item as it ages

    Please select this option for any non-Latin characters, like Chinese, Arabic, etc. A standard font & size will be chosen. If you wish for more control over the look, please choose the custom image option instead.

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

Amazing Work!!

I am so pleased with the design and materials. I went with alligator exterior and python accents, and Silas matched them perfectly. I look at my wallet so many times a day just to admire it. The difference in leather textures is really fun too.

Timeless piece

The craftsmanship is impeccable and the wallet is a piece that I’ll have for a very long time and will cherish. It’s a very unique piece that stands out due to the materials, design and the time and effort put into it. I’d 100% recommend.

A beautiful, expertly crafted family heirloom

After much research and browsing examples of their work, I had very high expectations for Silas and Perla, and they absolutely did not disappoint. First, Silas was very responsive to my emails and helpful as I tried to come up with the exact wallet that I wanted. Once I decided, they accommodated my customizations - I love the flexibility and options they provide. They're upfront about the wait time, which is all you can ask. I didn't mind waiting because I knew how long it would take and I knew I would be getting a unique, BIFL piece. Now that I have it, I appreciate it every time I take it out. It's a luxurious, handsome, customized wallet that I plan on passing down to my son, and I hope it will become a family heirloom for generations. Such a truly special experience.
