    *Please check the box after noting the following:
    1. Personalization without foil can turn out very subtle on textured leathers, especially Sherpa, Epsom, and Dauphin. It is recommended to choose foil with these leathers. 
    2. We take care to make the personalization durable, but we do not guarantee the foil integrity for the life of the item.
    3. Default location for folding wallets is the inner right hand corner. For non-folding wallets, default location is the front right hand corner. For other items or requests, please indicate your preference in the order notes.
      1. For wallets with the mini pocket addition, personalization will be stamped in the center of said pocket.

Design & Capacity

  • Super slim design is perfect for front pocket carry
  • 4 card pockets
  • 2 hidden pockets perfect for stashing extra cards or emergency bills
  • Optional rear and mini pockets
  • Best suited for 4-10 cards

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
  • Detailed edge work. Edges are finely creased, hand painted, and polished to a smooth finish
  • Wallet body is lined with leather

Edge paint color defaults to maker’s choice, which is typically matched to either exterior or interior. For special requests, please add an order note. 

Materials
