    • 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

WORTH THE WAIT

Silas has been very communicative and responsive throughout the process - my new wallet arrived today and I could not be happier! It is impeccable craftsmanship and easily beats a lot of the name brands' products. I chose the blue croc skin - to my surprise, it's beautifully supple and the color is just perfect for summer. Thank you so much :)

Minimalist wallet

I ordered this wallet with 4 pockets (with 3 pockets on one side). This wallet is so nice, much better and sleeker than the Chanel cardholder I have. The saddle stitch is impeccable; I have a couple saddle stitched leather goods, and some artisans are better than others. Silas is definitely one of the better ones. Not to mention his customer service is top notch! Yes, the wait time for your finished leather good is long, but I’d argue this is standard for any bespoke service, especially for someone who literally hand stitches his work.

I’ve spent way too much money on designer wallets that don’t even come close to the quality and detail that is demonstrated with my wallet from him. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.
