Minimalist Wallet - High Attention to Quality!

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.

World class workmanship and materials

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.

Artisan’s quality

The overall quality is perfect and better than Berluti that I used to have. Thank you for your good material choice.

Fantastic Quality!

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.
